Australia are looking to return to winning ways against Sri Lanka after losing to India in their previous World Cup match.
Aaron Finch makes one change to the side with Jason Behrendorff replacing Nathan Coulter-Nile, who is struggling with a minor injury.
Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bowl first a The Oval.

1.0 Australia 4-0 Aaron Finch 0 David Warner 4
Lasith Malinga, with his distinctive bowling action, gets us going from the Vauxhall end. It's a solid over from the Sri Lankan fast bowler, but Warner wastes no time in pushing one through midwicket for four. He'll be looking for a repeat of his performance against Pakistan.
2.0 Australia 12-0 Aaron Finch 8 David Warner 4
Finch, too, is looking in imposing form early on here. Nuwan Pradeep bowls the second over and twice gets hit for four, the second a perfectly-timed drive down the ground. It's a fast outfield, and there's already the makings of a solid opening partnership between Finch and Warner.
2.3 Australia 12-0 Aaron Finch 8 David Warner 4
3.0 Australia 12-0 Aaron Finch 8 David Warner 4
Malinga has started well, bowling at a consistent line and length. That's an impressive maiden over. Warner is content to wait and watch for now, though.
3.4 Australia 16-0 Aaron Finch 12 David Warner 4
Every run so far today has come from a boundary. Finch hits one off his pads onto the leg side and runs tantalisingly away for another four. The boundaries are small at the Oval, and Isuru Udana's efforts to stop the ball running away are in vain. He hurts his arm in the process, too.
5.0 Australia 20-0 Aaron Finch 14 David Warner 6
Another economical over from Malinga. Australia's openers are just getting set, remaining patient as they look to navigate the new ball. Udana is back out fielding now having been treated by the Sri Lanka physios.
6.0 Australia 23-0 Aaron Finch 15 David Warner 8
Pradeep keeps things tight at the other end. He doesn't give Finch or Warner much to work with, so they manage just three runs from the over.
7.0 Australia 33-0 Aaron Finch 25 David Warner 8
Malinga chooses to go around the wicket to Finch, but Australia's captain looks in excellent nick. He hits two powerful drives down the ground for four and moves onto 25 from just 21 deliveries. Sri Lanka won't want to let these two get in and settled.
8.0 Australia 43-0 Aaron Finch 26 David Warner 15
It's all got a bit loose from Sri Lanka's perspective. Warner hits Pradeep for four off the first delivery of his over, and that's followed by a couple of wides and misfields. Australia are in control.
8.1 Australia 43-0 Aaron Finch 26 David Warner 15
A change of bowler for Sri Lanka. Udana, who's recovered from his earlier injury, takes over from Malinga.
9.0 Australia 44-0 Aaron Finch 26 David Warner 16
Just the one run from Udana's first over. Sri Lanka could be forgiven for being a little rusty early on here. Their last two games - against Pakistan and Bangladesh - were both rained off, so they haven't played as much cricket as today's opposition. At least the weather looks good today, though.
10.0 Australia 53-0 Aaron Finch 34 David Warner 17
Thisara Perera comes into the Sri Lanka attack and immediately gets hit around the ground by Finch. He hits a sumptuous drive through the covers for four and then goes squarer for another boundary. Australia's captain is looking good for a big score here.
10.5 Australia 56-0 Aaron Finch 35 David Warner 19
Australia managed 53 without loss in the first powerplay of the game. That's set them up nicely to go on and get a big score. For Sri Lanka, a breakthrough looks unlikely as things stand.
11.2 Australia 59-0 Aaron Finch 35 David Warner 20
Sri Lanka review!
Perera appeals for LBW after a delivery strikes Finch on the pads.
It's close. The ball was going on to hit the stumps, but the point of contact was just outside the line of off stump.
12.2 Australia 64-0 Aaron Finch 38 David Warner 21
13.0 Australia 69-0 Aaron Finch 42 David Warner 22
Finch and Warner keep things ticking over, taking six off Udana's third over. Sri Lanka's decision to bowl first is looking increasingly ill-judged.
14.0 Australia 73-0 Aaron Finch 44 David Warner 24
The run rate is at 5.21 for Australia at the moment. They take four off this Perera over, content to nudge the ball around for singles. A score in excess of 350 looks a real possibility.
15.0 Australia 76-0 Aaron Finch 46 David Warner 25
Sri Lanka introduce some spin and it's a tidy first over from Dhananjaya de Silva. Warner, whose strike rate is unusually low - 25 off 45 balls - looks a little concerned by the change of bowler. But he's been watchful so far, as he was against Pakistan.
15.4 Australia 78-0 Aaron Finch 47 David Warner 26
Finch and Warner are laying strong foundations for Australia again here.
