Sri Lanka won the toss put Australia in to bat but Aaron Finch’s explosive 153 fired his side to an imposing total of 334-7 at The Oval.
Mitchell Starc then took four wickets as Sri Lanka’s initially strong start petered out into an 87-run loss that leaves them with a single victory from five matches.
And with their chances of qualification for the semi-finals now fading fast, Sri Lanka did not send any representatives to a post-match news conference.
An ICC spokesperson said the body will be “taking it up with them”.
Sri Lanka are next in action against England at Headingley on Friday.
