With defeats in their first two games of the ODI World Cup 2023, both Australia (AUS) and Sri Lanka (SL) are looking for their first triumph. Both times Sri Lanka scored over 300 runs, but their bowlers had trouble stopping the opposition, giving up 428 runs to South Africa as well as 345 runs to Pakistan. Australia, on the other hand, has yet to achieve 200 runs after being dismissed for 199 as well as 177 in both of their encounters.
Dasun Shanaka, the captain of Sri Lanka, passed away as a result of a thigh injury that he suffered in their last game against Pakistan. The apex cricket council has authorized replacement member Chamika Karunaratne to join the team.
