Defending champions Australia will look to continue their dominance when they square off with Sri Lanka in the 20th match of the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup at The Oval in London on Saturday.
Australia are heading into the clash with three wins from four matches they have played so far. The Aaron Finch-led side’s only defeat in the ongoing edition of the mega event came when they slumped to a 36-run defeat at the hands of India in their third clash.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have just one win from four matches they have played so far. Their last two clashes against Pakistan and Bangladesh were abandoned due to incessant rain.
However, a point each from those washouts and a victory against Afghanistan, have left Sri Lanka in the top half of the standings.
Australia are standing at the third spot in the points table with six points.
As far as weather is concerned, the Kennington oval is expected to receive patchy rain as the day progresses.
The two squads are as follows:
Australia: Aaron Finch (capt), David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wkt), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Jason Behrendorff, Nathan Lyon, Shaun Marsh, Kane Richardson.
Sri Lanka: Dimuth Karunaratne (capt), Dhananjaya de Silva, Nuwan Pradeep, Avishka Fernando, Suranga Lakmal, Lasith Malinga, Angelo Mathews, Kusal Mendis, Jeevan Mendis, Kusal Perera, Thisara Perera, Milinda Siriwardana, Lahiru Thirimanne, Isuru Udana, Jeffrey Vandersay.
