ausw vs srlw Match Prediction & Analysis

Australia has been all over Sri Lanka in this series and they are not just defeating them but crushing them with a massive margin of victories. Australia defeated Sri Lanka by 157 runs in their first ODI match. Australia will not settle for anything less than a 3-0 margin of victory in this series. They will look to continue their dominance over Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is caught up in a mess and their team is not even putting a fight against the Aussies. Chamari Athapaththu`s century in the T20I is the only highlight reel for Sri Lanka in this tour. No other player has made a mark with their performance so far.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Australia Women Preview

Australia is moving to strength with each passing match and keep adding to their victory tally. Meg Lanning (73) and Rachael Haynes (56) put on a 126-run partnership scoring their respective fifties. Their partnership set up the perfect platform to launch later on in the innings. Beth Mooney then contributed a good innings of 66 runs to take their team to a good total of 297 runs.

Aussie bowlers made a short work of Sri Lanka team dismissing them for just 124 runs. Tayla Vlaminck, Jess Jonasssen, and Ashleigh Gardener picked up two wickets each. Elysse perry and Georgia Wareham chipped in with a wicket each. In fact, Megan Schutt and Elysse Perry bowled just 3 overs each with the new ball in the powerplay and they were never really needed later.

Key Players:

Meg Lanning – Lanning got a very few opportunities to bat in the T20Is but she made a mark in the ODI series with an attacking 73 runs off just 66 balls. She smashed 12 boundaries in her knock.
Ashleigh Gardener – Gardener bowled a dream spell of 9-4-9-2 in the last match. She did not give any freebies in her ball and tied up one end completely. Gardener will look to continue her good showing with the ball in hand.

Sri Lanka Women Preview

Sri Lanka team has to do something to lift their spirits and put some good performance on this tour. A win against Australia would do a world of good for the Sri Lankan team moving forward in their cricket. Their batting unit is yet to make a fifty apart from Athapaththu`s century. Sashikala Siriwardene top scored with 30 runs in the last match and their batting unit succumbed to just 124 runs all-out.

On the bowling front, Ranasinghe and Prabodhani took 2 wickets each but failed to trouble the opposition team consistently. Kulasekara, Ranaweera, and Siriwardene too took a wicket each but were not able to stop Australia from getting to 297 runs. Sri Lanka needs to put a combined show with bat and ball to win a match against the Australian team.

Key Players:

Harshita Madhavi – She is one of the experienced players in the Sri Lankan team. She needs to play more consistently with the bat to score big scores and contribute to the team.
Shasikala Siriwardene – Siriwardene scored 30 runs with the bat and bowled a decent spell with figures of 10-0-44-1. She needs to put a big score on the board after getting the starts to inspire her team from the front.

Sri Lanka Women Predicted Playing XI:

Chamari Athapaththu, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Harshitha Madavi, Dilani Manodara, Shashikala Siriwardene (c), Nilakshi de Silva, Hansima Karunaratne, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Udeshika Prabodhani, Achini Kulasuriya, Inoka Ranaweera

Sri Lanka Women Actual Playing XI:

Shashikala Siriwardene, Harshitha Madavi, Chamari Atapattu, Nilakshi de Silva, Achini Kulasuriya, Ama Kanchana, Dilani Manodara, Inoka Ranaweera, Anushka Sanjeewani, Sugandika Kumari, Udeshika Prabodhani
