Captain Sciver-Brunt led from the very front by smashing a sensational century while spinner Sophie Ecclestone bowled a stunning spell of 4-17.
Sri Lanka had the opportunity to dismiss Sciver-Brunt cheaply, too, but they dropped her on three, and she went on to punish them by scoring 117.
In an innings where no other England batter could score more than 32 runs, it was Sciver-Brunt's century that eventually made the difference in the match. With wickets falling at regular intervals at one end, the England captain remained cautious at first.

The 253-run total turned out to be more than enough in the end as England bowled out Sri Lanka for just 164 runs. Sri Lanka suffered a big blow early in the chase when their talismanic captain Chamari Athapaththu was forced to retire hurt.
Athapaththu returned in the middle but it did not make much of a difference as she departed for 15, leaving her team reeling at 116/5. Sri Lanka kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were eventually all out for 164 runs in the 46th over.
