England qualified for the finals of the triangular one-day series, despite losing to Australia by four wickets at Adelaide Oval on Sunday. Australia made 153/6 in 47.3 overs in reply to England’s 152 all out in 48.3 overs.

The World Cup champions were unable to achieve their target within 40 overs and claim a bonus point, which meant England picked up one point to be on 20, six ahead of Sri Lanka.

Tournament pacesetters Australia gained five to be on 32. Left-arm paceman Nathan Bracken won the Man of the Match Award after ripping through England’s top order, finishing with 3/21 from 7.3 overs. Paul Collingwood, who made 63 not out, was one of only four England batsmen to reach double figures.
