Sri Lanka and Australia will lock horns in a two-match ODI series at the former's home. The Lankan Lions have announced their squad for the two ODIs with only one change to their previous team that toured New Zealand last month.

Charith Asalanka scored a career-best 127 to help Sri Lanka beat Australia by 49 runs in the opener of a two-match one-day international cricket series on Wednesday. Sri Lanka was bowled out for 214 in 46 overs after Asalanka won the toss and elected to bat first at Colombo’s R.

Both ODIs of Australia's tour of Sri Lanka will be broadcast live and free on Channel 7 and the 7plus app, with both to begin at 3:30pm AEDT. It's the first non-Ashes overseas men's tour shown on free-to-air TV in Australia since Mark Taylor's team played in South Africa in 1997.

After sweeping the test series in Sri Lanka, an injury-depleted Australia will look to carry the momentum into ODI matches against the South Asians and build confidence ahead of the Champions Trophy.

Australia wrapped up a comprehensive 2-0 series victory over Sri Lanka, sealing the second test with a commanding nine-wicket win in Galle.

Colombo: Captain Steve Smith admitted Tuesday the Champions Trophy would be on Australia minds when they play Sri Lanka in two one-day internationals this week, the final warm-ups for the eight-team tournament.
