Super 12, Match 22, AUS vs SL: Preview, Match Details, Pitch Report, Probable XIs, Match Prediction and Fantasy Picks 

Preview

Both the teams won their first game in the Super 12 and will look to move ahead of the other as the tournament is getting intense day by day. In the group of death, one can’t afford to drop any point. Thus, a win is important and both the teams have the ability to do the job.

Australia defeated South Africa in the opening fixture. The bowlers were terrific but what will bother them is their top order. David Warner, Aaron Finch and Mitch Marsh are yet to prove their worth in this mega tournament. Warner has been out of form for quite some time now. His form will bother the Australian team a lot as he is known for giving that blistering start which the likes of Maxwell and Stoinis would capitalize later. Now, if Warner doesn’t get his feet back, Australia is not getting the start they need and that might cost them in the tournament going forward. Talking about the bowling department, everything has been perfect so far. Jos Hazlewood is leading the bowling department. He has been a phenomenal white bowl bowler for quite some time and if he and his mates keep going, the road will be very rough for the Lankans.

Sri Lanka on the other hand is very unpredictable. Anyone can perform and win the match for his team on a given day. It’s good that the team is not over dependent on Wanindu Hasaranga and everyone is playing their role. Charith Asalanka played beautifully against Bangladesh. When everyone thought that Bangladesh took the game away from Sri Lanka after three quick wickets, he along with Bhanuka Rajapaksa did the job silently and won the match comfortably. When it comes to bowling, their pacers are their strength. Like said, they have the potential to beat this Australia side if they keep their nerves in control.

Pitch Report

The pitch will relatively help the bowlers but it’s not that the batsmen can’t score runs. Dew will definitely be a factor and thus team bowling first will have the advantage.

Australia will be the favorites to win the match. The match will be dictated by the bowlers and the team that bowls better should win the match. Team bowling second will have a massive disadvantage because of the dew.
