Brisbane: Australian skipper Michael Clarke looked quite disappointed with the fact that his team won by a narrow margin of 15 runs in the first of the best-of-three finals series here even though they set a target of 322 and felt that the bowling needs to be improved.

"A win is a win, but we have a lot of work to do with our power play and death bowling," said Clarke.

"It hasn't been good enough all series. It continues to let us down. We are the number one one-day team and we have to be better than that,” added the Australian skipper.

Sri Lanka who lost six wickets within 150 runs picked up well and a late attack by Nuwan Kulasekara and Upul almost won it for them but thanks to good death bowling by Shane Watson denied them the win.

"I just think we are not executing our skills to be honest. They practise all their different variations in the nets, but under pressure, at the moment, we are not executing. That's been the difference, I think, between us playing some great cricket throughout this series and playing (only) good enough cricket to win the games," said Clarke.
