Australia are favourites to win
Australia meet Sri Lanka at the Perth Stadium on Tuesday evening in the latest 2022 T20 World Cup fixture. Australia, the hosts of this tournament, lost to New Zealand in their opening fixture on Saturday evening. Sri Lanka beat Ireland by nine wickets on Sunday afternoon. Read on as we preview this Super 12 stage match. This Group 1 game gets underway at 19:00 local time in Perth.
Australia have suddenly hit a poor run of form but have a team filled with stars. They won the 2021 T20 World Cup and will certainly back themselves at home against Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka won the 2022 Asia Cup and, in spite of their surprise defeat to Namibia last week, have been on an excellent run of form. They will be underdogs but should not be written off in this game.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Star Network, Fox Sports, ESPN and PTV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sky Go and Disney+ Hotstar
Sri Lanka have chosen to bat first after winning the toss on one occasion in this tournament. Australia would prefer to chase so we expect to see Australia in the field irrespective of who wins the toss.
The pitch in Hobart has been lively throughout the tournament with fast bowlers and spinners causing problems. At the same time a par score is over 150 and there are always runs available.
Clear skies with the temperature falling from 16 to 14 degrees during the evening. Expect the humidity levels to increase to over 70% before the close of the game.

The tournament hosts selected the XI which most pundits predicted for their opening game defeat against New Zealand with Steve Smith, Ashton Agar, Cameron Green and Kane Richardson all left out. There are no new injuries and we predict Australia will be unchanged for this match of T20 World Cup 2022.
Australia have lost three of their last four IT20s with the other game ending in a no-result.

There was one change for Sri Lanka ahead of their big win over Ireland on Saturday afternoon at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. Opening batter, Pathum Nissanka, was rested with a groin strain and he was replaced by Ashen Bindara. Nissanka is expected to be fit and to return in this game.
Sri Lanka had a surprise defeat to Namibia in their opening game of the tournament but are now targeting their fourth successive win.
Kusal Mendis (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Lahiru Kumara, Binura Fernando
Although Australia have a four game overall lead from the 25 IT20s between the sides, the most recent games have been well contested. Both teams have won two matches each of the last four.

Sri Lanka have been in excellent IT20 form over the last couple months but it is Australia who are heavy favourites to win this match.

Sri Lanka have beaten the likes of India and Pakistan over recent months and beat Australia in their last IT20 meeting. However, winning in Australia during the T20 World Cup would be bigger than all those other victories.
David Warner, Mitchell Marsh and Aaron Finch are our picks with the bat for Australia. Marsh hit 16 runs from 12 balls on Saturday and always scores his runs at a high strike-rate.
We recommend Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka as our batting tips for Sri Lanka. Asalanka had a strike-rate of 140.90 across his 22 ball unbeaten innings against Ireland.
We are backing Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa as our bowling picks for Australia. Zampa was one of only two Australian wicket takers in Saturday’s defeat.
Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana and Binura Fernando are our tips with the ball for Sri Lanka. Fernando got the big wicket of Harry Tector in Sunday’s victory.
If this game had been played three months ago then Australia would have had no worries but Sri Lanka have become one of the most dangerous sides in the world during that time. We are predicting a close contest but are backing Australia to get the win.
