Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and opted to bat first against Australia in the second and final ODI of the two-match series on Friday.

Sri Lanka made one change to their playing XI from the previous game while Australia made as many as five changes.

A century from Kusal Mendis (101) and an unbeaten 78 from captain Charith Asalanka guided Sri Lanka to 281/4. In reply, Australia suffered another batting collapse to be bowled out for 107 in 24.2 overs.
