    Dasun Shanaka to David Warner. Yorker, middle stump on the front foot pushing, to deep point for 1 run, fielded by Gunathilaka. There it is, Warner gets to his maiden T20I century off the last ball of the innings and he is pumped. A trademark leap into the air and the Adelaide Oval shows it's appreciation.

    Sri Lanka have been put to the sword by Australia, conceding a massive total thanks to a David Warner century. Rapid half centuries from Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell provided ideal company for the left-hander, meaning the tourists will need something special to even get close to the target. What an amazing start to the summer for the Aussie men.

    David Warner's maiden T20I century has powered Australia to a huge victory over Sri Lanka at Adelaide Oval to put them 1-0 up in the three match series. Warner made more runs on his own than all of the tourists put together as they struggled in response to the massive total. A clean striking Aaron Finch and swashbuckling Glenn Maxwell both made fifties with a plethora of boundaries all around the ground. Wickets in the powerplay from Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins saw Sri Lanka's chances all but ended, before Adam Zampa nipped in with three late scalps. We'll be back for the 2nd T20I on Wednesday, a day/night affair at The Gabba in Brisbane.
