AUS vs SL 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Australia will look to take a 2-0 lead in five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka in the second ODI. The match will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground and will start at 1:40 PM IST.
There were a lot of positives for Sri Lanka in the first T20I yet they were not good enough to beat Australia. While they did well to restrict Australia to a below-par total of 149, they couldn’t chase it. And the batting is going to be a real challenge in all games against the likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa.
Sri Lanka batters need to show a little more maturity while batting. Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka were stitching a good partnership but both lost their wickets in the same over to poor shots. Sensible batting is the need of the hour if Sri Lanka have to win any game in the series.

Chasing has never been easy in Sydney and the skipper who wins the toss will look to bat first.
AUS vs SL Pitch Report
The wicket was not the easiest to bat in the first game. While the new ball came on nicely, it got difficult to bat as the ball got old. Expect a similar trend in the next game as well.
Weather Report
The weather will be partly cloudy with temperatures hovering around 24 degrees. As of now, there are negligible chances of rain.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
We don’t think Australia will make any changes to the winning combination. Only when the series is won, then they can give their bench strength a go in the match
AUS Key Players
- Steven Smith - Smith is a very important player in Australia batting. He was cleaned up by Hasaranga in the last game for 9 but given the wicket, Smith has to stay in the middle to allow the likes of Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis to go big.
- Glenn Maxwell - Maxwell comes among the most dangerous players in the T20I game. While he is at the crease, one can be sure that Australia are going to get a big score.
- Josh Hazlewood - Hazlewood was at his brutal best in the first game and accounted for four Sri Lanka wickets. Expect him to continue his good run in the next game as well. He bowls wicket to wicket, the way to go on this surface.
AUS Team Form
Post Australia’s T20I series loss to West Indies last year, the team has been on a roll, winning most of their games.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
Aaron Finch, Ben McDermott, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade (WK), Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc
Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
Since the wicket is favourable for spin bowling, Sri Lanka might be tempted to play Jeff Vandersay.
SL Key Players
- Danushka Gunathilka - Gunathilaka was in fine form in the Lanka Premier League and Sri Lanka need him to bring that form in the T20I series as well, as runs from top order is key in this format.
- Pathum Nissanka - Nissanka played good cricket in the first match and scored 36. However, he needs to stay long enough at the wicket and add a few more runs to his score.
- Wanindu Hasaranga- Wanindu Hasaranga is sensational and once again showed his class when he derailed Australia's inning in the last game with three wickets. He will be a real test for Australia.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka has been going through a tough phase. Not just the losses, but the big margins of the losses will be concerning them.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Avishka Fernando, Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Dinesh Chandimal (WK), Danushka Gunathilaka, Dasun Shanaka, Chamika Karunaratne, Wanindu Hasaranga, Binura Fernando Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana
Australia vs Sri Lanka Head to Head
