SL vs AUS Match Preview: From Pitch Report To Playing XI, All Details Here

At Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday, October 16, Australia and Sri Lanka will square off in Game 14 of the current ODI World Cup 2023. Speaking of their World Cup campaigns, both teams will be looking for their first victory after putting on underwhelming performances thus far.

Australia has already played South Africa and India in the competition and has lost both contests handily. However, Sri Lanka has lost its matches against South Africa and Pakistan so far in the competition.

Report and conditions for the pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium

One of India’s few bowler-friendly fields is the one at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. As a result, hitters find it difficult to score runs on such a surface, while spinners may do well when the pitch gradually becomes more balanced. Choosing to bowl first may be a sensible choice if the goal and the calculated chase are kept in mind.

AUS vs SL Probable Playing XI

Australia (AUS):

David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins (C), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, and Josh Hazlewood

Sri Lanka (SL):

Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis (C), Sadeera Samarawickrama (wk), Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Chamika Karunaratne, Dunith Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, and Dilshan Madushanka

Ace Marnus Labuschagne, an Australian hitter, might be the best one in the team’s forthcoming match against Sri Lanka. Notably, Labuschagne led Australia in runs scored against South Africa in their previous match. 46 runs were scored in 74 deliveries. He is also one of their most effective batters. His performance against Sri Lanka will undoubtedly be useful.
