Chris Broad of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fine after Australia were ruled to be one over short of the target when time allowances were taken into consideration.

India, who had entered the just-concluded Commonwealth Bank tri-series ranked second, finished third in the championship table - one ratings point behind South Africa.

Australia won the first final at Brisbane, but Sri Lanka drew level at Adelaide. The lengthy, but entertaining tournament is finally coming to an end.

While Michael Clarke is ruled out of the 3rd CB series final against Sri Lanka, his participation during the ODI leg of Australia's tour of the West Indies also appears doubtful.

After registering a comprehensive win over Australia, Mahela Jayawardene said that the key to his team's success against a tough opponent is to compete well at all times.

Michael Clarke also said his side could neither utilise the bowling powerplay nor the batting powerplay.

Dilshan and Jayawardene were involved in a mammoth opening stand as they helped their team make short work of Australia decent total of 271 on a track that suited the Lankans more than it did the Aussies.

Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene was involved in an argument with the umpires during the Australian innings, which has earned him a 10% fine.

David Warner injured his groin during his career best knock of 163 in the first final of the CB series against Sri Lanka.
