After a shocking opening loss to Namibia, Sri Lanka’s supporters will be unhappy, but they will still have some faith about moving on to the Super 12 round. This is so because UAE and the Netherlands, the other teams in the group, are much weaker.
Match Preview
On the day of the game, Geelong will experience partly cloudy with periods of sunshine. Expect some bounce as the soil is from the Gabba. Expect pacers to enjoy themselves here since four of the top five wicket-takers in T20s at this location are pacers. The shorter limits should be struck squarely by the batter. During the second half, the wicket does have a tendency to slow down a little, which makes batting challenging. The toss-winning team will probably choose to bat first.
Team Preview
The Asia Cup Champions suffered a setback on Saturday when left-arm fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka hurt himself in practice and withdrew from the competition. The batting was the main problem. Sri Lanka played aggressively but frequently lost wickets. This can happen and is not unusual. Although the shot selection could have been a little better, the intention was correct. In contrast to the UAE, Sri Lanka won’t be put to the same kind of test, and should easily win.
There were no shocks in the UAE starting lineup for the T20 World Cup 2022 match against the Netherlands on Sunday night, and after coming so close to winning, we anticipate the same starting lineup to be used. Aayan Afzal Khan, 16, made history by playing in the Men’s T20 World Cup game as the youngest player ever. UAE came pretty close to defeating the Netherlands but has now dropped four straight T20Is.
