Australia secured a commanding 2-0 series victory over Sri Lanka, marking their first Test series win in the country since 2011.
In the second Test at Galle, Australia dismissed Sri Lanka for 231 early on day four, leaving a modest target of 75 runs.
Despite losing opener Travis Head for 20, Usman Khawaja (27*) and Marnus Labuschagne (26*) guided the team to a nine-wicket win before lunch.
Captain Steve Smith was named Player of the Series for his two centuries, while Alex Carey earned Player of the Match honours for his pivotal 156-run innings.
This series sweep provides a significant confidence boost for Australia as they prepare for the World Test Championship final against South Africa in June.
