Glenn Maxwell's first one-day international century led Australia to a 64-run win over Sri Lanka at the World Cup.
Kumar Sangakkara became the first player to make three successive hundreds in a World Cup but Sri Lanka were unable to chase down an imposing target of 377 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
A partnership of 134 between Steven Smith and Michael Clarke set the platform for Australia before Maxwell took centre stage with a stunning innings of 102 from 53 balls. Shane Watson also blasted 67 in quick time and Brad Haddin added 25 from nine balls at the death.
Sri Lanka opener Tillakaratne Dilshan made 62 and put on 130 for the second wicket with Sangakkara, who compiled a wonderful 104.
Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal tried to build momentum in the later stages of the chase, targeting Watson and Xavier Doherty, but when the latter retired hurt with cramp and Mathews was soon dismissed the match got away from Sri Lanka.
Mitchell Starc took two wickets to finish the match, Sri Lanka ending up 312 for nine as Chandimal did not return given the match situation.
