Sri Lanka vs Australia, 5th ODI Highlights: Australia defeated Sri Lanka in the 5th and final ODI on Friday but lost the series 3-2. Chamika Karunaratne (75 from as many balls) scored nearly half the hosts’ total of 160 in a feisty rear-guard, helping to put on 75 for the final two wickets on the way to the second highest ODI score by a Sri Lankan No.8.

Bewitched by finger-spinners Maheesh Theeskahnna (2-26) and Dunith Wellalage (3-42), Australia slumped to 4-50 amid hectic start to their run chase but a composed Alex Carey (45no) guided the tourists home with 10.3 overs to spare.
