Sri Lanka has been marred due to excessive rains in England and this has caused them to worry as the team could not play both their games against Pakistan and Afghanistan as this has affected their chances in the World Cup 2019. The team has also been bothered by the facilities made available to them. Yesterday, the Sri Lanka team manager also complained about the same while speaking to the press. They even went on to accuse the ICC about the same. But the International Cricket Council obviously refuted the charges. Sri Lanka vs Australia Cricket Score 20th ODI Match
Defending champions Australia, on the other hand, have been largely unstoppable. The team has only lost one game against India so far in the CWC 2019 World Cup. The team won their last game against Pakistan by 41 runs. The five-time winners are placed second with three wins from four games. With two fifties and a hundred, David Warner has been simply outstanding, helping Australia post 300-plus scores in the last two matches. In the last game also he scored 107 runs against Pakistan and the team had won the match by 41 runs.
Allrounder Marcus Stoinis will be missing out on his second straight match after straining his side last weekend while bowling in the loss to India. He has five more days before Australia's next game against Bangladesh to come right. Mitchell Marsh has joined the squad on standby.
