Men's T20 World Cup, Dubai International Cricket Stadium:

• Sri Lanka 154-6 (20 overs): Zampa 2-12

• Australia 155-3 (17 overs): Warner 65 (42), Finch 37 (23)

Australia won by seven wickets

Australia maintained their 100% record at the Men's T20 World Cup with a dominant seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka.

Chasing 155 for victory, opener David Warner hit a fluent 65 from 42 balls. When he fell in the 15th over Australia needed only 25.

Steve Smith, with an unbeaten 28, and Marcus Stoinis completed the job with three overs to spare.

Sri Lanka's 154-6 had looked competitive on a slow pitch, but their bowlers struggled as openers Warner and Aaron Finch, who made 37, shared 70 to set Australia on their way.

Australia and England meet in Dubai on Saturday, when one team's perfect record thus far must come to an end.

🏉 Australia coach Dave Rennie says the side's selection policy will be reviewed after fly-half Quade Cooper became the third player to pull out of November's British tour.

Along with Cooper, centre Samu Kerevi and flanker Sean McMahon have opted to remain with their Japanese clubs.
