Sri Lanka will take on Australia in the first match of a 3-match T20I series that will take place at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Tuesday. Earlier, both sides took on each another in a 5-match T20I series that took place in Australia with the hosts clinching the series 4-1. In a recent one-off T20I against Pakistan, Australia chased down 163 successfully and considering the players on paper, they look favourites against Sri Lanka.
Australia have named an almost full-strength for this series and barring Pat Cummins (rested) and Adam Zampa (parental leave), all the other players, who were part of their World Cup winning triumph in UAE, are present. The players are coming after being good in the IPL – David Warner, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, among others were in top form and will be the key elements for Australia.
Sri Lanka on the other hand will rely heavily on senior spinners in Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana and they are expected to test the Australian top-order. Both these bowlers were superb in the IPL and will look to carry this confidence into the series.
