Preview
Sri Lanka will take on Australia in the First Test of Australia's tour of Sri Lanka. This match will be played at Galle International Stadium. Sri Lanka will be hosting Australia for a 2-match Test series followed by a 2-match ODI series. Steve Smith will be leading Australia in the absence of Pat Cummins while Dhananjaya De Silva will captain Sri Lanka in this series.
Sri Lanka has won 7 of its last 11 home games, while Australia has lost 4 of its last 5 Tests in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has also been unbeaten at home in 2024, so all these points suggest a fascinating series, and Playing in the sub-continent is a big challenge so Australia will be keen to embrace the challenge and put up some competitive performance throughout.
Sri Lanka are coming into this series on the back of a series loss in South Africa. On the other hand, Australia secured the WTC final spot after beating India at home in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Prabath Jayasuriya will play a key role for the hosts while Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy will be the crucial bowlers for Australia. There could be changes in Australian batting order and it remains to be seen how both teams approach this game. This promises to be a closely fought game.
