Match Preview
Sri Lanka enters this clash with perfect momentum, having dismantled both Ireland and Oman with ease. Their top order, led by Pathum Nissanka, has been clinical, and their spin-heavy attack is perfectly suited for home conditions. Australia, by contrast, is grappling with a sudden crisis.
A “must-win” tag now hangs over them following a lackluster batting display against Zimbabwe in Colombo. The Australians have bolstered their squad by drafting Steve Smith to replace the injured Josh Hazlewood, while captain Mitchell Marsh is also nearing a return from injury to provide much-needed leadership.
