Australia bowled out Sri Lanka for 160 after a defiant maiden half-century by Chamika Karunaratne, with the tourists looking for a consolation win in the fifth one-day international on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood returned figures of 2-22 while Sri Lanka -- who have an unbeatable 3-1 series lead -- could only survive 43.1 overs after opting to bat first in Colombo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It could have been much worse for the hosts had it not been for Karunaratne's run-a-ball 75 adding some respect to the total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Karunaratne, who improved on his previous ODI best of 44 not out, and debutant Pramod Madushan put on a stubborn stand of 58 for the ninth wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia debuted Josh Inglis in place of Travis Head, who became the latest on the teams' injury list after hurting his hamstring in the previous match this week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The tourists quickly rattled the Sri Lankans after Hazlewood removed the openers inside five overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Charith Asalanka was run out for 14 after a misunderstanding with his partner Kusal Mendis, who made 26 but was out hit wicket off Glenn Maxwell on the next ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann then struck twice in one over including skipper Dasun Shanaka for one as Sri Lanka slipped further to 85-8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But Karunaratne fought back as he reached his fifty with a boundary off Pat Cummins to celebrate with a fist pump.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cummins finally got out Karunaratne, who hit eight fours and two sixes in his stay, to wrap up the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Many Sri Lankan supporters wore Australia's gold and held banners thanking the tourists for visiting the island nation, which is battling an unprecedented economic crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
