Sri Lanka will be high on confidence when they face Australia in the three-match T20I series, starting October 24. The Lankans, who travelled to Pakistan with a second-string team, made the visit to Pakistan for the nation’s first-ever international cricket series in 10 years without many of their first-team stars. But the inexperienced and young team thrashed the hosts 3-0 to achieve Sri Lanka’s first-ever T20I clean-sweep over Pakistan on their own soil. The Tour to Australia, which will commence on October 24, will, however, see the return of many first-team players that had stepped out of the Pakistan series.

For Australia, the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka will be the start of six-consecutive Twenty20 International matches. The Aaron Finch-led side will hosts Pakistan and Sri Lanka in back-to-back three-match T20I series. This will also be Australia’s first Twenty20 international series since the 2-1 victory over India away from home before the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Their last T20I series at home was also against India – the three-match series ended 1-1, with one match producing no result.
