Australia beat Sri Lanka by 15 runs in the first match of the Tri-series held in Brisbane a short while ago. The Australians batting first scored 321 runs and Sri Lankans scored 306 runs being bowled out in the 49th over.

The Australian side posted an imposing 321 for six from their 50 overs with opener David Warner in scintillating form with 163 off 157 balls, while Matthew Wade added 64.

Sri Lanka looked in contention at one stage as Kumar Sangakkara scored 42 and UpulTharanga compiled a breezy 60 with NuwanKulasekara adding 73 from just 43 balls, but Sri Lanka fell 15 runs short as they were dismissed with four balls to spare.

The victory gives Australia a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three final after India were sent home.
