Sri Lanka had little trouble capitalising on Zimbabwe’s batting capitulation, reaching their victory target in a little over 33 overs to win the first one-day international by six wickets in Harare.

Australia cruised to their 20th successive World Cup win at the expense of an under-strength Sri Lanka today to make almost certain of topping the Super Eight table.

Half-centuries from captain Mahela Jayawardene (85), Kumar Sangakkara (76) and Chamara Silva (55 not out), guided Sri Lanka to an imposing 321 for six off their 50 overs against Bermuda in their Group B World Cup match at the Queen’s Park Oval.
