Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and decided to bat first against Sri Lanka in the final T20 of the three-match series between the sides at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. While Australia are eyeing a whitewash, the Lankans are looking for a consolation win.

Australia's Mitchell Marsh misses the game due to a minor calf injury, while Sri Lanka have included left-arm orthodox Praveen Jayawickrama replacing right-arm pacer Nuwan Thushara for the final match.
