Skipper David Warner’s fluent century and a disciplined bowling effort powered Australia to a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the fifth one-day international in Pallekele as the visitors took the series 4-1 on Sunday.
Australia, who had clinched the series in Dambulla on Wednesday, rode on a record 132-run partnership between Warner (106) and George Bailey (44) to chase down 196 in 43 overs on a sluggish pitch.
Earlier pace spearhead Mitchell Starc led the visiting attack with three wickets to bowl out Sri Lanka for a modest 195 in 40.2 overs.
