Khawaja had just five runs to his name when he was forced to retire hurt and did not take any further part in the match.

The 32-year-old was later cleared of any serious injury.

The Aussies won by seven wickets thanks to a 76 from the returning Steve Smith as they chased down 230 with ease.

Australia will begin its World Cup defence against Afghanistan at the County Ground in Bristol on June 1.
