Australia vs Sri Lanka predictions, latest betting odds
Sri Lanka's bowling has been their weak point so far, having conceded 428 and 345 in their two games thus far. While Australia have not been in great form over the last month or so, they will be confident of getting a win here. Playing once at Lucknow against South Africa before this game should also help them in terms of assessing the conditions.
