Australia maintained their 100% record in the Men's T20 World Cup with a dominant seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka.

Chasing 155 to win, opener David Warner led the way with 65 runs from 42 balls.

When he was dismissed in the 15th over, Australia needed just 25 to win.

At the halfway stage, Sri Lanka's 154-6 looked competitive on a slow pitch but their bowlers struggled for consistency and Warner and Aaron Finch (37) capitalised.
