Marcus Stoinis hit the second fastest half-century in the Men's T20 World Cup as Australia bounced back from their opening defeat with a seven wicket win over Sri Lanka.

Stoinis smashed 59 from 18 balls as the defending champions reached their target with 21 balls to spare in Perth.

Sri Lanka batted first and hit 157 for 6 in 20 overs.

The win moves Australia to fourth before their crucial meeting with England in Melbourne on Friday.

New Zealand still leads the table and England is in second place.
