AUS vs SL 5th T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Sri Lanka will be keen to avoid the clean sweep but Australia is on a roll thus it won't be easy. A lot is at stake for both teams thus the match promises to be a thrilling game. The final match will be played at Melbourne Cricket Ground and will start at 11:40 AM IST.
Sri Lanka started the Australia tour with impressive performances. Even though they didn’t win a game, they were competitive. However, their performance in the last two games has been poor, to say the least. The batters have struggled throughout the tour and barring Pathum Nissanka and a few cameos from Dasun Shanaka, there is not much to talk about. The bowlers have done well but Sri Lanka needs runs if they want to win a game.
Meanwhile, Australia have been clinical. Barring Aaron Finch, all players have done well. Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Ben McDermott, all have performed well. The bowlers have also lived up to the expectations with quality bowling displays.

AUS vs SL Pitch Report
The wicket will be slow, as we saw in the last game. It’s a big ground, plus the slow nature will make spinners a big threat.
Weather Report
The weather will be cloudy but the chances of rain affecting the game are very less. There is a 40 per cent chance of rain but it is expected to come down late in the night.

AUS Team News
Australia is trying out different combination thus we may see a lot of changes in the final game. They may rest quite a few of their regulars like Hazlewood
AUS Key Players
- Glenn Maxwell - Glenn Maxwell now has two back to back good knocks. After scoring 39 in the third T20I, he scored 48 in the last game. He is slowly getting into his groove which is a positive sign for Australia.
- Josh Inglis - Josh has been very consistent in the series. In the last game, he made a quickfire 40 off 20 balls. He is fighting for a spot in the World Cup team and he would love to continue with the momentum.
- Adam Zampa - Given the conditions, Zampa will be a big threat for Sri Lanka. The ground is also massive which gives Zampa a bit more cushion.
AUS Team Form
Australia as a team has been phenomenal. Barring Finch, all have contributed to the wins.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
Aaron Finch, Ben McDermott, Ashton Agar, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade (WK), Daniel Sams, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa

With the series already lost, Sri Lanka will be desperate for a win. However, they will also see this as an opportunity to test their bench strength. The fringe players might get a chance in the match.
SL Key Players
- Pathum Nissanka - Nissanka has been brilliant in the series. He is the highest run-scorer with 171 runs in the series. He has performed well against a daunting bowling lineup and has lived up to the tag of the most promising Sri Lanka batter.
- Kusal Mendis - Mendis looked good in the last game and scored 27 before being run out. He would like to make amends and take Sri Lanka to a win.
- Maheesh Theekshana - Theekshana had a great game and bowled a spell of 20-1 in the fourth T20I. With the wicket assisting spinners, he will have a good chance of delivering another good performance.
