Australia vs Sri Lanka Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023: Bottom placed Australia hope for change in fortune

Pat Cummins-led Australia will look to open their account when they meet Sri Lanka in the World Cup 2023 encounter in Lucknow on Monday. The Aussies have so far have been outplayed twice and accommodate the bottom position on the points table. Sri Lanka too are yet to open their account but due to a superior run-rate are placed two spots higher than the Aussies.

Australia head into the contest after enduring a tough 134-run defeat against South Africa and prior to that they had endured a six-wicket defeat against India. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, engaged in a high-scoring encounter against South Africa, which they lost by 102 runs. Pakistan then chased down a stiff 345 against them in their second match.

If we compare both the sides, Australia appear more formidable and will enter the contest as favourites. The team is filled with promising players but their key spinner Adam Zampa has so far been ineffective, a major reason behind their poor outing. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be without their captain Dasun Shanaka, who has been ruled out of World Cup due to a thigh injury.

Sri Lanka have roped in Chamika Karunaratne as his replacement in the squad. The major concern for Sri Lanka has been their bowling. They have leaked over 400 runs in the first match and then failed to defend 344 in the second.
