BRISBANE, Australia (AP) Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat in the third and final limited-overs cricket international against Australia on Sunday, seeking to complete a clean sweep of the series. Australia, battling to avoid its eighth-straight loss in all forms of cricket, elected to rest captain Ricky Ponting, handing the leadership to Michael Clarke for the second time in the series. The Australians made three changes to their lineup for the match, naming Callum Ferguson for Ponting, Xavier Doherty in place of spinner Nathan Hauritz and Mitchell Starc for paceman Peter Siddle. Sri Lanka made two changes to the side that won the second match by 29 runs in Sydney on Friday, naming Jeevan Mendis in place of Muttiah Muralitharan and Dilhara Fernando for Nuwan Kulasekara.
