Chasing 140 for victory, the home team achieved the target, losing just four wickets with 11 balls to spare. Inglis smacked 40 off 20 balls while Maxwell stroked a composed 48 off 39.
Earlier, opener Pathum Nissanka made 46 for Sri Lanka, but tidy bowling from spinners Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa blunted their charge, and a late collapse saw six wickets fall for 12 runs in 21 deliveries.
