Hundred from Tillakaratne Dilshan led to propel Sri Lanka to 302-6 in the seventh game of the one-day series against England.
Dilshan hit a 101 including 9 fours and one sixes. Dinesh Chandimal made 55 after Sri Lanka elected to bat first at R Premadasa Stadium.
A large crowd was seen at the Premadasa stadium to cheer veterans Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene in their last one-day international on home soil.
Jayawardene, who has already retired from Tests, will hang up his boots after the World Cup. Sangakkara too will quit one-dayers after the tournament, although he remains non-committal about his future in Tests.
Sri Lanka clinched the series on Friday with a 90-run win over England, giving them a 4-2 lead in the series.
