Sri Lanka Form

Sri Lanka will play host to Australia in a two-match series. They will be on an unbeaten streak in 2024. In this series, they have suffered back-to-back losses to South Africa via 109 runs and 233 runs. Before this match, they had three consecutive wins, twice against New Zealand and once against England. Prabath Jayasuriya will be very instrumental for the game plan with this side. Other wickets, such as Asitha Fernando and Lahiru Kumara, are expected to step up with the squad and show their worth once again.

Sri Lanka Predicted Lineup

Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews, Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva (c), Kusal Mendis (wk), Lahiru Kumara, Prabath Jayasuriya, Nishan Peiris, Asitha Fernando

Australia form

Team Australia has shown great finesse in games despite not having a static captain with the team. This feat saw them record a victory against Team India to get a spot at the WTC final spot. Their current form can be attributed to the high performances from their batter. Players like Alex Carey and Josh Inglis are top on the watch list and ready to cause some little troubles for the home side.

Australia Predicted Lineup

Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Steve Smith (c), Marnus Labuschagne, Beau Webster, Alex Carey (wk), Travis Head, Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy

Expert Betting Tips

Statistically, Team Sri Lanka has been strong back in this match. They have won seven of their last eleven matches. They have also been on an incredible home run since 2024. It will be a cloudy day, and it is expected that it poses a challenge not just for fans but for the batters as well. This pitch has an average 1st inning score of over 350, and in this match we expect that also happening. Despite the home side being with the advantage, Team Australia cannot be joked with. Their packed-up squad nullifies the advantage from Sri Lanka.
