The first T20I of Sri Lanka’s tour of Australia is planned for Friday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Australia will play a Twenty20 International for the first time since winning the T20 World Cup last year. It will also be their first series since former head coach Justin Langer’s resignation.
Sri Lanka has brought in numerous new players, including Danushka Gunathilaka, who was suspended last year for violating the Covid-19 protocol in England. Kusal Mendis, the batter, tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss this game.

Pitch Report
It’s a great batting deck and there is no doubt in that. The batters will get complete value for their shots and the bowlers need to vary their pace consistently. Defending the scores is always a challenge here and hence bowling first makes more sense.
