The ODI series between Sri Lanka and Australia kicks off on June 14. The opening game of the five-match series will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele.
We witnessed an exciting T20I series between the two sides. The first game was won comprehensively by Australia but they were made to fight for every run in the second T20I as they won the game by three wickets. The third T20I was a thrilling contest, with Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka pulling off a heist as his assault helped them chase down 59 runs in the last three overs.
The Lankan side will gain some momentum heading into the ODI series. Shanaka will continue to lead the side. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Wanindu Hasaranga have been recalled for the one-dayers. The Islanders have got a good amount of experience on their side and will look to kick off the series on a winning note.
The Australian side will be pretty confident going into the first game of the ODI series. Aaron Finch will lead the side and they have retained most of the players that featured in the T20I series.
The likes of Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne and Pat Cummins will join the squad, adding a good balance to the side. They will hope to rub off their third T20I defeat and start the ODI series on a positive note.
