Stats and trivia
•On the three previous occasions since 1990 that the third final has been required, Australia have always won, twice against South Africa (1993-94 and 1997-98) and once against Sri Lanka (2007-08).
• Sri Lanka's win over Australia on Tuesday, with 34 balls to spare, was the most comfortable chase of a 270-plus total in all ODIs against Australia.
• Warner is the only batsman to have scored two centuries in the finals series in Australia. Dilshan stands a chance to emulate him.
"We can laugh about it [dropped catches] obviously, because we had a very comfortable win today [Tuesday]. But it would have definitely cost the match and the tournament, so we need to make sure we don't make huge mistakes in the last game." Mahela Jayawardene
