Dambulla: Australian skipper David Warner criticised preparation of Sri Lanka's pitches following his side's series-clinching one-day international victory against the hosts, saying his batsmen were being prevented from scoring big totals.

Warner lauded his teammates for their six-wicket win against Sri Lanka in the fourth ODI on Wednesday, which handed the tourists an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.


Warner, whose side suffered their first Test whitewash against the hosts last month, said the sluggish pitches were not ideal for ODI cricket.

"It's hard to gain momentum when the wickets prepared are like this," said Warner. "It's a little bit disappointing from our point of view because it's not the way we like to play. We like to play an aggressive cricket and entertain the crowd."
