Having restricted Sri Lanka to a modest 93/7 in the first innings, opener Beth Mooney anchored the chase as Australia eased to a six-wicket win in their first match of the tournament.
Megan Schutt (3/12) and Sophie Molineux (2/20) starred with the ball, and Australia’s deep batting line-up always looked in control with the bat, even with high temperatures clearly taking a toll, as Mooney’s unbeaten 38-ball 43* saw them home with 5.4 overs remaining.
The result leaves Sri Lanka with zero points after two matches and in real trouble in Group A, with fixtures against India and New Zealand to come.
