The Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars have got their ICC Twenty20 World Cup campaign off to the best possible start, with a 19-run win over Sri Lanka in their opening warm-up match in Bangladesh.

Captain Meg Lanning (43) and Jess Cameron (30) were the top scorers for Australia, putting on a 70-run partnership to lift the Stars to 5-144 off their twenty overs.

Jess Jonassen was the pick of the Australian bowlers, picking up a remarkable 2-5 off her three overs.

Erin Osborne and Rene Farrell also chipped in, picking up a wicket each to restrict Sri Lanka to 5-125 and ensure a comfortable 19-run victory.
