Desk: Sri Lanka and Australia are all set to take on each other in the second

leading the Australian team while the Sri Lankan team is led by Dasun Shanaka.

Notably, Sri
Lanka has faced a massive defeat by the Australian team in their first T20
match. In that match, Aaron Finch went on to win the toss and chose to
have a bowl first.
As Sri Lanka
has already lost one match of the T20 series with Australia, this match is very
crucial for the Sri Lankan team to be in the series.
The match
between Sri Lanka and Australia will begin at 7:00 PM IST.
The R Premadasa
Stadium has a well-balanced pitch. The new ball lands nicely on the bat,
allowing batters to easily play their strokes. Because the ball tends to grip
off the surface while bowling here, the spinners will play a big role.
