Brisbane, Jan 18: Sri Lanka's batsmen overcame a shaky start before capitalizing on Nuwan Kulasekara's five-wicket haul to beat Australia by four wickets with 180 balls to spare in the third limited-overs international Friday.
Australia, boosted by the return of regular captain Michael Clarke and test stars David Warner and Matthew Wade, crumbled as Kulasekara took 5-22 after the hosts won the toss and elected to bat.
Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene (1) was dismissed by Clint McKay in the first over before the visitors slumped to 37-4.
But despite some spirited bowling from Mitchell Johnson (3-11), the Sri Lankans had too many wickets and overs in hand.
