Preview

After defeating Australia (AUS) by 49 runs in the first ODI of the three-match series, hosts Sri Lanka (SL) will take on the Men in Yellow in the upcoming second and last ODI. Notably, the game will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, on Friday, February 14.

Sri Lanka are coming off two consecutive wins in their last five ODIs, following two straight defeats against New Zealand and a no-result game. They will aim to win this game and seal the series by a 2-0 margin. Interestingly, Sri Lanka have defeated Australia in three of their last five ODIs. Given the home advantage and their in-form spinners, it will be a sumptuous match for both sides.

On the other hand, the defending ODI World Cup Champions Australia have been through a struggling run of form in the last five ODIs. They are coming off three straight defeats, including their recent outing against Sri Lanka. Steve Smith’s men will eye winning this game to level the series with an equal scoreline of 1-1. More importantly, the visitors will aim to head for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 on a winning note in a bid to find their winning rhythm timely.

Meanwhile, speaking of the renowned venue of Colombo, the pitch is expected to assist the spinners and it will only slow down further as the game progresses. Hence the captain winning the toss will be looking to bat first and put a good total on the board. Thereafter, in the second innings, will look to exploit the spinning conditions and put the opponent under immense pressure. For the uninitiated, the Lankan Lions had batted first in the last encounter as well and then spinners played their role to perfection to stun Australia.
