The ongoing Australian men’s summer is all in readiness of witnessing its first-ever white-ball match as Australia will host Sri Lanka for a T20I at the Sydney Cricket Ground tomorrow.
In what is going to be the seventh T20I bilateral series between these two teams, it is also going to be the first-ever five-match T20I series between them. While Australia lead Sri Lanka in the overall head-to-head record between these two teams in the shortest format, the visitors have surprisingly done better in Australia.
Although weak on paper against the defending champions, Sri Lanka wouldn’t get a better chance to prepare for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 than playing five T20Is in a country where the world event is to be played.

Hosting a T20I after more than 14 months, the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground might end up disappointing the players and fans due to weather-related reasons.

According to AccuWeather, there’s a strong possibility of rain forcing players to take shelter on Friday. While the temperature will remain between 20-22 degree during the evening time, the rain probability between 8-9 PM (local time) is predicted to be as high as 75%. It goes without saying that it is during this particular time that showers are predicted in Sydney.
It is around 10 PM that rain probability is anticipated to reduce to 49% before falling to 34% around 11 PM. Going by the weather prediction, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that a rain-curtailed first T20I could be upon us.
