Warner smashed an unbeaten 56-ball 100, getting to triple figures in the last ball of the innings as skipper Aaron Finch (64) and the promoted Glenn Maxwell (62) provided the perfect complement to Warner&#39;s return after a forgettable tour of England in the Ashes.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThis was Warner&#39;s maiden T20 ton and the destructive southpaw hit eight fours and three sixes in his innings.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAshes star Steve Smith did not have to bat as the Aussies took the Sri Lankan bowlers to the cleaners to post 233\/2 in 20 overs after visiting captain Lasith Malinga elected to field first.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWarner and Finch shared an opening wicket partnership of 122 runs while the former associated with Maxwell for another 107 runs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor Sri Lanka, Lakshan Sandakan and Dasun Shanaka took one wicket each.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nChasing a daunting 234 for victory, Sri Lankan batsmen gave a poor account of themselves and could manage 99\/9 in 20 overs. Adam Zampa returned best figures of 3\/14 as pace spearhead Mitchell Starc (2\/18) and strike bowler Pat Cummins 2\/27) grabbed two wickets each. Shanaka top-scored for the islanders with 17.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBrief scores: Australia 233\/2 in 20 overs (David Warner 100*, Aaron Finch 64, Glenn Maxwell 62; Sri Lanka 99\/9 in 20 overs (Dasun Shanaka 17; Adam Zampa 3\/14)<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
