Srilanka vs Australia Prediction: Australia to be in a strong position after the second game

The second ODI of the Australia tour of Sri Lanka came fast with only one day of rest but the players will be ready to go again in Kandy. Will Australia repeat the win like last game and come on top or will Sri Lanka will get over the line finally. 

Sri Lanka after losing the T20 series came back strongly in the last game to defeat Australia by four wickets. They did well in the first ODI putting a total of 300 on the board and if it was not for Maxwell, they would have won the game. They would take the confidence and courage from the game and will be looking to finally get over the line against mighty Aussies. Hasaranga will again be the key man for Shanaka for wickets. 

Pathum Nissanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (c), Bhanuka Rajapaksa/Dinesh Chandimal, Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara, Maheesh Theekshana.

The Aussies did not have a great start and in a rain struck game they somehow managed to get the win over impressive Sri Lankans. Australia is struggling to get early wickets and that is a cause for concern. They are also facing a lot of injuries with Stoinis out of the tournament and Agar is also not looking fit for the game. Australia needs to manage their injury crisis or this tournament can slip off their hands real quick.

We are expecting a high-scoring game like we saw the last time. We are expecting Australia to somehow manage to win the game despite the injuries. We are also expecting Srilanka to start the game well with the bat.  

• Australia to win for 1.56;
• Each Team To Score Over 249.5 Runs for 1.53;
