Preview

Australia(AUS) will be up against Sri Lanka (SL) in the 14th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on October 16. Australia just have not been Australia in the World Cup so far, losing both their matches and languishing in the second-last position. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have not been too different, with two losses as well. They are seventh in the rankings.

Australia played against South Africa in their last match, where Australia won the toss and elected to bowl. South Africa were off to a rollicking start as they gathered 108 runs for their opening stand. The run-fest did not stop after that as well and kept piling for every wicket. With the help of a brilliant century from Quinton de Kock, they reached a good total of 311 runs. Australia did not start the chase well and just kept losing wickets one after the other. They lacked partnerships to be built, which would take them forward, so they lost the match by a huge margin of 134 runs.

Sri Lanka squared off against Pakistan in their last match, where Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. They lost an early wicket but had two-century stands for the second and third wickets, respectively, which brought them back in the game and put them ahead in the driver’s seat. They set a huge target of 345 in reply of which, Pakistan lost two wickets early and looked in trouble when the pair of Shafique and Rizwan added 176 runs. Fantastic finishing touches meant Pakistan chased a record total and won the match by six wickets.

The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium is primarily helpful to the batters. Pacers may enjoy some seam and swing at the start, which can create problems for the batters. Batters can play their shots freely after spending a few balls on the ground. Teams winning the toss choose to bowl, with the average first innings score being 232.

8.5
C

Kusal Mendis SL | WK

Mendis has been at the top of his game in the World Cup so far. He has amassed 198 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 166.39 in just two matches.

9
C

Sadeera Samarawickrama SL | WK

Samarickrama has looked good in the tournament so far with the bat. He has raked up 131 runs and can be a good fit for captaincy roles.

8.5
C

Mitchell Starc AUS | BOWL

Starc came into the tournament as a bowler but has been contributing to his nation with the bat as well. He has mustered 55 runs and three wickets so far in the World Cup.

8

Josh Hazlewood AUS | BOWL

Hazlewood has been bowling in the right areas and has looked great. He has scalped four wickets at an economy of 5.44 in two matches.

6.5

Dilshan Madushanka SL | BOWL

Madushanka has been the highest wicket-taker for his team. He has picked up four wickets at an economy of 7.55 in two matches.

9

David Warner AUS | BAT

Warner had come into the tournament with form at his side, and although he has not been able to score much in the last two matches, he is someone who can surprise in any match.

8

Charith Asalanka SL | BAT

Asalanka has done a pretty good job so far as well with the bat. He has scored 80 runs in two innings with a strike rate of 117.65.

9

Marnus Labuschagne AUS | BAT

Marnus has been the only batter so far who has looked to stay on in the crease and give some time. He has scored 73 runs so far in two matches.

9

Glenn Maxwell AUS | ALL

Although Maxwell has not done so far what he has actually been famous for, he still has contributed with 18 runs and two wickets. He can be a good budget choice.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

7.5

Kusal Perera

SL | WK

Perera has failed largely to contribute to his team as he has scored just seven runs so far. He should not be present in your team.

8.5

Dhananjaya de Silva

SL | ALL

Silva has not come to the party yet with his performances. He is also one pick you might want to miss out on.
