Earlier, Sri Lankans were whitewashed in three-match Test series 3-0 by the hosts. The vistors take on Australia in the first ODI at the MCG, on January 11. Sri Lanka vice-captain Angelo Mathews is buoyed by his side's past form in limited-overs cricket at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) ahead of their first ODI against Australia.
Sri Lanka have registered wins in their previous three visits to MCG and a win in the first ODI could be the best start to the limited-over series after being whitewashed 3-0 in the Test series.
