Sri Lanka vs Australia Chances of Winning
Australia came in guns blazing to stake their claim over the series with a commanding victory in the first outing. Despite being an away game, the Aussies went ridiculously hard against the Sri Lankan bowlers to mount a dominant score of 654. Opener Usman Khawaja went hammer and tongs right from the start to score a double century with 232 runs. The rest of the team also did not spare Sri Lanka as Steven Smith, Josh Inglis, Travis Head and Alex Carey scored 141, 102, 57 and 46* runs, respectively. The wicket-keeper batter’s contribution at the end was the nail in the coffin for Sri Lanka who had an impossible task to accomplish.
Sri Lanka’s first innings missed the mark as they piled on 165 before getting bowled out; Dinesh Chandimal was the only one who played a mature innings with 72 runs on the board. The deficit was still too much and victory was slipping further away from the hosts, and they ended up bundled out for 247 while following on. The home team received a beating and a half with an innings-and-242-run defeat.

Welcome bonus INR 25,000 Promocode SCBAT Australia’s Usman Khawaja and Travis Head bring a plethora of experience to the team’s first wicket and they proved their dominance with a stand of 92 runs. Khawaja and Head are both in a league of their own with career averages of 45.48 and 43.27, respectively, in test cricket. Moreover, they were able to give the Sri Lankan bowlers a run for their money as the visitors, which only solidifies their stronghold of the opening wicket. Another big boon for Australia was Steven Smith who absolutely smashed it out of the park in the last match. The right-hand batter showed once again that he is the cream of the crop with a solid knock of 141, marking his 35th career ton. His average of 56.33 is truly otherworldly and after giving Sri Lanka a taste of what he is capable of, he is expected to keep up the momentum for the second game as well. Galle International Stadium is a batting track through and through, and Australia won the first game here after choosing to bat first. The teams batting first now have 26 wins in 47 tests played here while those chasing have 15. The insurmountable target posted by the visitors will certainly make batting first the favored choice yet again. The forecast at Galle is not particularly favorable with a 50% likelihood of a washout and scattered showers. The temperature is expected to touch 31 degrees Celsius.

The same is expected of them in the second match, too. Australia are all powerful against Sri Lanka in their test history with a whopping 21 victories in 34 matches. Head-to-Head Record Total - 34 Sri Lanka - 5 Australia - 21 Draw - 8 Australia to have a better opening partnership than Sri Lanka Oshada Fernando and Dimuth Karunaratne were both completely off the mark against Australia’s bowlers. They were never the favorites to begin with but they stooped well below expectations with single digit scores of 7 and 6 runs. Needless to say, they fell short against Australia’s opening lineup as Usman Khawaja and Travis Head added 92 runs to the first wicket. The disparity is glaringly obvious and if Sri Lanka’s openers are struggling to this extent on home soil, there is no way the Australian side would let them get away with it. Test Galle International Stadium, Galle Dinesh Chandimal to be Sri Lanka’s Best Batter The prediction for the first test turned out to be accurate since Dinesh Chandimal top-scored for Sri Lanka in the first innings against Australia, having scored a half-century with 72 runs. Following on, he added 31 runs to his tally and leads the team’s batting with a total of 103 runs in two innings. He has garnered an average of 51.50 in the series, making him the top choice for the second test as well. Travis Head to be Australia’s Best Batter Travis Head scored his 18th test career half-century in the previous outing against Sri Lanka with 57 runs in their sole innings. Although he was nowhere near the top in the match, he came into this series with a hefty lead over the other batters, having amassed 448 runs in nine innings against India. With a brilliant career average of 43.27, he is expected to lead the charge in the next match. Prabath Jayasuriya to be Sri Lanka’s Best Bowler Prabath Jayasuriya emerged as the joint leading bowler for Sri Lanka against Australia during the first test. His 60-over spell was rather impressive as he bowled a whopping eight maidens, captured three wickets and achieved a remarkable economy rate of 3.21. He remains the top pick to be their premier bowler yet again. Nathan Lyon to be Australia’s Best Bowler Nathan Lyon was Australia’s second leading bowler in the last encounter where he picked up a total of seven wickets in two innings. After taking a three-wicket haul in the first innings, he went on to add four wickets to his tally along with an average of 19.28 and an overall economy rate of 3.46. He is anticipated to lead their bowling attack in the second outing of the series. Australia ParimatchBest Bookmakers for Sports Betting in India
