David Warner thanks Sri Lankan fans for support in ODI series

Australia won the fifth ODI against hosts Sri Lanka by 4 wickets at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Alex Carey compiled an unbeaten 45 in a tense run-chase and saw his side through the finishing line.

However, it was a consolation win for Aaron Finch and co. as the touring party lost the five-match ODI series.

Despite being a dead rubber, the fifth game witnessed a packed stadium with a legion of Sri Lankan supporters showering their love for both teams. Several of the Australian cricketers, including opener David Warner, were overwhelmed by the heartwarming gesture of the hosts' crowd.

The dynamic batter recently took to social media and thanked the Sri Lankan fans for their support. He described the fans at the game as "next level" and congratulated Sri Lanka for their 3-2 series win.
