In the 14th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee stadium at Ekana, Lucknow, Australia is all set to take on Sri Lanka in search of their first victory in the competition. They have played two matches in the competition till now and lost both to India and South Africa. A tough start for them in the competition but still enough opportunity for them to make a comeback and seal their position in the semifinal of the competition. The last defeat also hurt them in terms of net run rate and they have to look to recover it as well. Sri Lanka on the other hand have struggled with the bowling which has made them concede two big defeats in their first two matches as well. Sri Lanka Captain Dasun Shanaka Ruled Out of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 With Thigh Injury, Chamika Karunaratne Named Replacement.
What has been a lusty blow for the Sri Lankans, captain Dasun Shanaka has been ruled out of the rest of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 with a thigh injury. Kusal Mendis is set to take up reigns of leadership in his absence. Mendis has been in terrific form, scoring runs in both the first two games including a century in the last game against Pakistan. He received good support from Sadeera Samarawickrama as well but the bowling for them hasn't delivered yet. Mathisha Pathirana is also suffering from injury and Lahiru Kumara might replace him in the playing XI.
For Australia, they had a horror day out on the field against South Africa. The intensity hasn't been up there and they dropped routine catches during the match. Players haven't delivered to their ability just yet. Pat Cummins, the captain himself along with Adam Zampa has been the weaklinks in the bowling while Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and Cameron Green are yet to show their calibre as down the order power-hitters. Australia has seemed confused with their first choice wicketkeeper too and might consider bringing back Alex Carey in this match.
