Australia will lock horns with Sri Lanka in their upcoming T20 World Cup match on Thursday, 28 October. Australia won their first game in Group 1 against South Africa by five wickets. Sri Lanka also came into this match by defeating Bangladesh. SL have been in good form this tournament and entered the Super 12s after finishing top of their group in the qualifiers.
The Dubai pitch has so far offered support to both batsmen and bowlers in the games played in this tournament. However, the chasing teams have won all three matches at this venue – a trend that will be taken into account at the toss.
Australia, on the other hand, won their match against South Africa but would need a better performance from their top-order. David Warner is struggling for form while Aaron Finch got out for a duck against South Africa. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins will take command with the ball and Adam Zampa will be challenging in these conditions with his leg spin.
Sri Lanka will come in this match with excellent spinners and the availability of Mahesh Thekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga can become a challenge for the Australian batsmen.
Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka will hope that his young batsmen Charit Aslanka, Pathum Nisanka and Avishka Fernando continue to make good contributions at the top of the order.
