Adelaide, February 22
Australia beat Sri Lanka by 41 runs in their final T20I on Wednesday, avoiding a whitewash in the three-match series and salvaging some pride. Australia got off to a flier courtesy of captain and opening batsman Aaron Finch's 53 runs off 32 balls. His partner Michael Klinger scored a controlled 62 runs off 43 balls to help take the hosts to a total of 187.
Sri Lanka began impressively but wickets tumbled as they struggled to cope with leg-spinner Adam Zampa, losing five wickets, including that of in-form all-rounder Asela Gunaratne. — Reuters
Brief scores: Australia: 187/6 (Klinger 62, Finch 53); Sri Lanka: 146 (Faulkner 3/20, Zampa 3/25)
