Australia and Sri Lanka will square off in Match 22 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on 28 October. Sri Lanka are on a four-match winning streak, while Australia too won their opening clash against South Africa.
Australia produced a great bowling display to restrict South Africa to 118. Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa claimed two wickets apiece. Then they chased down the target with ease, thanks to 35 from Steven Smith, and a quickfire 24 from Marcus Stoinis. Starc has picked up an injury during a subsequent practice session, and his availability for the match remains uncertain. Australia are likely to go in with an unchanged XI if he is fit.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, chased down an imposing 172 in 18.5 overs. Charith Asalanka remained unbeaten on 80, while Bhanuka Rajapaksa made 53 in just 31 balls. They will expect more from their openers. Among bowlers, Dushmantha Chameera was a bit expensive.
