Sri Lanka put Australia in to bat in final ODI

HOBART: Sri Lanka won the toss and put Australia in to bat Wednesday in the fifth and final one-day international, with the hosts needing a win to level the series.

Michael Clarke failed a late fitness test, handing the captaincy to George Bailey.

"I'm disappointed. I rolled my ankle yesterday during practice," said Clarke.

Sri Lanka seized a 2-1 lead last week, bowling out Australia for just 74 runs in Brisbane. The fourth match in Sydney on Sunday was abandoned after rain halted play on Sunday.

Teams:

Australia: George Bailey (capt), David Warner, Matthew Wade, Phillip Hughes, David Hussey, Glenn Maxwell, Moises Henriques, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Clint McKay, Xavier Doherty

Sri Lanka: Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Lahiru Thirimanne, Dinesh Chandimal, Kushal Perera, Angelo Mathews, Jeevan Mendis, Thisara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Lasith Malinga, Rangana Herath
