Marnus Labuschagne (40) and Josh Inglis (58) added 77 runs to revive the chase. Glenn Maxewell (31) and Marcus Stoinis (20) then knocked off the remaining runs.

However, their dismissals, in the span of five overs, triggered a collapse from which the Islanders struggled to recover. The Australian bowlers did well to stage a fine comeback with leg-spinner Adam Zampa showing the way with four wickets in the innings that was briefly interrupted by rain.There were two wickets apiece for Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.

Ausralia's form recently

Australia have looked like a pale shadow of their dominant selves in this tournament. The five-time champions sit ninth in the 10-team league table owing to their horrendous Net Run Rate (-1.846), while the Lankans are 7th on the table with a NRR of -1.161. The Aussies desperately need to get their act together if they want to keep their fate in their own hands. But it is easier said than done. Australia have lost seven of their last eight ODIs comprehensively.
