Australia have successfully chased down the 75 runs required for victory to claim a 2-0 series win in Sri Lanka.
Travis Head (20) was the only batsman to fall, leaving Usman Khawaja (27 not out) and Marnus Labuschagne (26 not out) to get the job done and secure Australia their first series win in this country for 14 years.

Victory came off 17.4 overs.
This was a fine series victory, particularly considering skipper Pat Cummins and fellow fast bowler Josh Hazlewood were absent.
Steve Smith, with centuries in both Tests, was superb, both with bat and tactically.
“They just couldn’t have played any better, Australia,” former Australian batsman Greg Blewett told Seven.
Blewett said it was pleasing to see several debutants through the Test series against India and now Sri Lanka, Cooper Connolly the latest.
“It is common sense you have to try and create some depth. That’s exactly what the Australian selectors are trying to achieve right now,” he said.
“Doesn’t matter what sport you play, it is a squad mentality. The Australian Test team has been so settled for a long period of time, but now there’s got to be some sort of transition, we know that. Probably another few players will retire after next year’s Ashes series at home. It’s really pleasing to see younger players or more inexperienced players coming into the Australian side, just to get a taste of it.”
