The 22nd match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2021 will be played between Australia and Sri Lanka in Dubai tomorrow. The Group 1 match will be the only match to be played on Thursday.
With Australia and Sri Lanka winning their first Super 12 match against South Africa and Bangladesh respectively, both the teams have a couple of points under their belt. Having said that, Sri Lanka (0.583) are at the second position on the points table on the back of a better NRR (Net Run Rate) as compared to Australia (0.253).
Considering chink in the armor in their current squads and how neither of Australia and Sri Lanka have a significant advantage due to their past record against each other, fans can expect this match to result in a close contest at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
