Australia vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI Match Preview, Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report & More
The ODI series between Sri Lanka and Australia starts off on June 14. The initial round of the five-match series will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele.
We saw an interesting T20I series between the different sides. The primary game was dominated thoroughly by Australia yet they were made to battle for each altercation the second T20I as they dominated the game by three wickets. The third T20I was an exhilarating challenge, with Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka pulling off a heist as his attack assisted them with pursuing down 59 runs in the last three overs.
The Lankan side will pick up some speed heading into the ODI series. Shanaka will keep on driving the side. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Wanindu Hasaranga have been reviewed for the one-dayers. The Islanders have a lot of involvement on their side and will hope to start off the series on a triumphant note.
The Australian side will be quite sure going into the primary round of the ODI series. Aaron Finch will lead the side and they have held the greater part of the players that highlighted in the T20I series.
Any semblance of Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne and Pat Cummins will join the crew, adding a decent equilibrium aside. They will expect to focus on their third T20I rout and begin the ODI series with an optimistic outlook.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is a reasonable track. The surface will give sufficient help to the quicks as they hope to get wickets forthright with the new ball.
The ball will more often than not hold a piece on a superficial level and the spinners will come into the later phases of the game.
