Australia will take on Sri Lanka in the 20th game of the World Cup. The match will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and will see the previous year’s finalists take on each other in the match.
Australia have played a couple of games and have won both of them rather comfortably. In the match against the Zimbabweans, they started slowly before getting to 265 and then bowling Zimbabwe out. In the second game they demolished New Zealand to win by seven wickets.
Sri Lanka were not as clinical in the tournament so far. They were easy winners over the Canadian and Kenyan sides but failed to do much in the Pakistan game that allowed the opposition to win the game.
Australia will depend on their pace bowlers – hardcore fast bowling from Shaun Tait, Brett lee and Mitchell Johnson to do the damage. On the other hand, Sri Lanka will need the likes of Malinga and Mendis to get a move on.
