    "editor1": "<p><strong>Melbourne, Nov 1:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;David Warner continued his excellent form with the bat by scoring an unbeaten 57 as Australia completed a 3-0 whitewash of Sri Lanka with a seven-wicket win in the third and final T20 here on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After Sri Lanka posted 142\/6 in their 20 overs, Warner led the Aussie chase once again with a 50-ball 57, his innings laced with four fours and a six. The home team took the field without Glenn Maxwell who on Thursday took a break from cricket due to mental issues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Barring Warner, skipper Aaron Finch scored 37 and Steve Smith got 13 as Australia got to 145\/3 in 17.4 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For Sri Lanka, Kusal Perera top-scored with a 57 as Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson and Pat Cummins all grabbed two wickets each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Warner started the series with a maiden T20 hundred and then scored an unbeaten 60 in the second rubber to underline his class in white-ball cricket. The veteran southpaw had a forgettable Ashes but made up with a home return since the ball tampering scandal by playing his best cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ben McDermott, who was slotted in at No.4 to replace Maxwell, was trapped in front by Sri Lanka skipper Malinga for five as Ashton Turner scored a 15-ball 22 not out to help the Aussies coast to victory with 14 balls to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the first innings, Sri Lanka never really got going as Starc, Richardson and Cummins kept things tight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: Sri Lanka 142\/6 (Kusal Perera 57, Mitchell Starc 2\/32, Kane Richardson 2\/25, Pat Cummins 2\/23) Australia 145\/3 in 17.4 overs (David Warner 57*)<\/p>\r\n",
