AUS vs SL: Australia will lock horns against Sri Lanka in Match 19 of the ICC T20 World Cup, 2022 on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, at Perth Stadium, Perth.
Australia will look to bounce back stronger by keeping their recent humiliation aside when they take on Sri Lanka in the 19th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 at Perth Stadium, Perth.
The hosts have suffered an embarrassing 89-run loss at the hands of New Zealand in the opening match of the Super-12. Their bowlers failed to justify Aaron Finch’s decision of bowling first as they went on to concede 200 runs to the Kiwis.
Heading into their second game, they must be expecting a better show from their batters as well as bowlers. David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Aaron Finch will be the key players with the bat for the Aussies while with the ball, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa remain the crucial ones.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, secured a thumping nine wickets victory against Ireland in their last most recent fixture. Their bowlers, especially the spin duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga took better of the Irishmen as they restricted them to a paltry total of 128.
In reply, Kusal Mendis, along with Dhananjaya de Silva and Charith Asalanka played some flamboyant knocks to chase down the target in just 15 overs. With two points in their account, they are placed at the second spot in the Group 1 points table. They will be looking to extend their winning streak in the tournament.
