Australia vs Sri Lanka, T20 World Cup: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details for Match 19

Australia will take on Sri Lanka in the 19th match of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 on Tuesday. The Perth Stadium in Perth will host this exciting Group 1 fixture in the Super 12 stage of the competition.

Australia didn’t have the best of starts to the T20 World Cup 2022 as they faced New Zealand in their opening fixture and suffered a heavy loss. They were outplayed by the Kiwis at the SCG.

Bowling first, the Australian bowlers struggled to pick up wickets as New Zealand finished their innings on 200/3. Josh Hazlewood claimed two wickets for the hosts. The batters in the chase never got going as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were bundled out on 111. Glenn Maxwell top-scored with 28. They will now have to be on their toes while facing upbeat Sri Lanka in their next fixture.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, kickstarted their Super 12 campaign on a winning note. They beat Ireland comprehensively in their first game of the Super 12s at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. They have successfully carried forward their winning momentum after topping Group A in the Group stage.

After being asked to bowl first, the Lankan side did a fine job of restricting the Irish side to 128 in their 20 overs. They picked up eight wickets in total, with Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana finishing with two apiece. Kusal Mendis in the chase scored 68* at the top of the order as they chased down the total in 15 overs to win the game by nine wickets. They will be eager to repeat their performance against the hosts on Tuesday.
