- Duckett struck 167 from 132 balls, his highest ODI score and second consecutive century, sharing a 163-run opening stand with Tom Banton.
- Dawson claimed four for 49, removing Pavan Rathnayake for 118 as Sri Lanka lost their last five wickets for 16 runs.
- Sri Lanka, already qualified for the final against Pakistan, were all out for 331 chasing 386.
- Coach Brendon McCullum said England's batting depth gives selectors "good problems" ahead of the tour of Australia.
