AUSTRALIA VS SRI LANKA PITCH REPORT

The pitch at Manuka Oval is good for batting as the new ball comes nicely onto the bat and will allow some free scoring at the start. However, the spinners will have an impact as the surface tends to get a bit slower as the game progresses.

Temperatures in Sydney are expected to range between 13 and 31 degrees Celsius. There is no chance of rain predicted and we expect a full game to be played on Tuesday.

AUSTRALIA VS SRI LANKA PROBABLE XIS

AUSTRALIA

Josh Inglis looked good during his 48-run knock as it helped them score 164 in their 20 overs. Josh Hazlewood picked up three wickets with the ball. Hazlewood bowled brilliantly in the Super Over as well, conceding only five runs as their batters then chased it down with ease to seal a cracking game.

SRI LANKA

Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga picked up two wickets apiece as they restricted the hosts to 164. Pathum Nissanka led the charge with the bat, scoring 73 at the top of the order as it helped them force the game into a Super Over.

A disappointing effort from their batters in the Super Over meant Hasaranga was asked to defend just six runs. He understandably couldn’t do so and the visitors lost the game.

AUSTRALIA VS SRI LANKA MATCH PREDICTION

The Aussies have been good in the first two games of the series and are on the brink of a series win. Meanwhile, the Lankan side have failed to fire in unison and need to be on their toes in the third game to keep the series alive.

The hosts look like a more settled unit and we expect them to come out on top on Tuesday.

Prediction: Australia to win this encounter.
