Australia aim to seal Tri-series against Lanka

Australia are determined to close out the Tri-series ODI finals against Sri Lanka, all-rounder David Hussey said on Monday. The top-ranked Australians take a one-nil lead into Tuesday’s pivotal match in Adelaide in the best-of-three match finals after a too close for comfort 15-run victory in Sunday’s opening game in Brisbane. Hussey said the Australians were desperate to kill off the finals series in consecutive matches. “This is a chance to win a series - not all of us have actually won a series in Australia in one-day international cricket,” Hussey told reporters. “So it’s very important we actually close out the series in a professional manner.” Explosive opening batsman David Warner faces a pre-match fitness test for Australia ahead of Tuesday’s second final.
