The practice T20 match between Sri Lanka vs
Australian Prime minister XI was held at Canberra last October 24. The match was
won by the Australian Prime Minister XI by one wicket. However, Sri Lankan
bowlers bowled well to control Australian batsman. They just wanted one wicket
to win the match.
Sri Lankan batting order once again failed to
get going in any stage of the game. They lost Danushaka Gunathilake early
and Bhanuka Rajapaksha scored quick 24. But Bhanuka dismissed against nice
spinning delivery. Kusal Mendis also played ugly cricket and who has only scored 7 runs by spending 10 bowls.
Oshada Fernando tried hard to take Sri Lanka
for a competitive score. But he was failed and only scored 38 runs. Oshada only
spent 25 bowls for his quick 38. Niroshan Dickwella was appointed as captain on
that match. But he also didn’t play well and only scored 11 runs. He played a
scoop shot and found the edge by the wicketkeeper.
Dasun Shanaka looks good on this match. But he
was also stumped by the wicket-keeper. Then Wanidu Hasaranga helped Sri Lanka
to take 131 runs in their 20 overs. Hasaranga scored 25 runs from 28 bowls.
This score looks like very much short and poor batting showed everywhere by the
Sri Lankan Batsman.
Australia started well by playing some
delightful boundaries. However, both Nuwan Pradeep and Kasun Rajitha eliminated
three Australian batsmen for just 28 runs. Ranjitha delivered a cracking delivery
to remove Chris Lynn. Kusal Mendis took classy slip catch to remove dangerous
Jason Sanga. Australia was 51-3 when they come to the 10th over. Lakshan Sandakan
removes three Australian batsmen with magnificent deliveries. Niroshan
Dickwella also helped Sandakan with two quick stumpings. But opening batsman of
Australia took Australia to near the victory. But Lahiru Kumara delayed the
victory until the last over. Australia needed 10 runs in the last over of
Kasun Rajitha. But they won the match of poor last over of Rajitha.
However, Sri Lankan bowlers were credited to
bowl extremely well on that track. They are planning to arrange their squad for the upcoming t20 world cup. Sri Lanka now giving experiences to their new players
by resting their senior players like Angelo Mathews and Lasith Malinga.
The first t20 match between Australian National The cricket team and Sri Lankan Cricket Team will be played in Adelaide. Sri Lanka
will hope to play with both Lasith Malinga and Isuru Udana. All new players in
the squads need to show their colors. If not they will replace by the new
players. Therefore Sri Lankan seniors need to show their skills once again.
They have Kusal Perera and Shehan Jayasuriya on the bench.
Austalia will be played with the two powerhouses
of David Warner and Steve Smith. Both players join the team after one year of a cricket ban. Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc will be the main fast
bowlers of Australia. They are expecting some magic from Glenn Maxwell in
the middle overs. Sri Lanka hopes to manage with both Hasaranga and Sandakan.
