Perth: After winning the toss, Australia opted to bowl first against Sri Lanka in their second game of the Super 12 stage.
After winning the toss, Aaron Finch said, “We’ll bowl first, that’s the best strategy on this surface and we can’t think too far away in the tournament as of now. Looks like a decent pitch with a good grass surface. Adam Zampa is OUT with illness, replaced by Ashton Agar.”
“We’re excited and well-prepared, looking forward to this game. The camp is very confident since the Asia cup and we’ve performed consistently, have chased down good scores. We have Pathum Nissanka back, no other changes,” said Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka.

Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis(w), Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka(c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Binura Fernando, Lahiru Kumara
