Australia and Sri Lanka are all set to lock horns in a five-match T20I series down under from tomorrow. It will be after more than two years that these two nations will play a bilateral T20I against each other.
Sydney Cricket Ground, which had hosted the fourth Ashes 2021-22 Test match last month, will be hosting a T20I after more than 14 months. Australia, who have played nine T20Is at this venue between 2007-2020, have won five and lost three. Sri Lanka, who have played 19 ODIs and a Test in Sydney over the years, will be playing their first-ever T20I here.
While Australia have a slender lead to flaunt in T20I head-to-head record against Sri Lanka, the visitors would be gaining confidence from the fact that they have a better head-to-head record in Australia. However, apart from the strength of their current world champion squad, Australia also have an advantage in the form of not losing a T20I against Sri Lanka in the last half-a-decade.
