Match Prediction
Sri Lanka, looking at their player from the IPL such as Bhanuka, Wanindu can add main value to the course but when it comes to the batting side it seems not that strong and needs to buckle up whereas in the Australian team, they players like Aaron Finch, Josh Hazzlewood, Glenn Maxwell, David Warner, Mathew wade which has a vast experience of almost all the formats of cricket and are expected to play well.
Final Prediction – Australia has strong chances to win this game.
