5 Changes Made By Australia in 2nd SL vs AUS ODI
Australia had met a 49-run defeat despite knocking down Lanka for 214 runs. Their batting lineup fell in front of Lanka’s spin attack. Kangaroos kept this in mind when they selected the eleven for the second match, as they are playing with three major batting powerhouses in the names of Travis Head, Josh Inglis, and Glenn Maxwell.
Australia also picked two spinners, Ben Dwarshuis and Tanveer Sangha, not to lose an advantage on Lanka’s twirly-whirly pitches.
This will make Jake Fraser-McGurk move down to the No. 3 position, with Travis Head stepping up to open the innings alongside Matthew Short. Meanwhile, all-rounder Aaron Hardie has been promoted to No. 6, while the dynamic Glenn Maxwell is listed at No. 7.
Sri Lanka also made a change in their XI, bringing in Madushka instead of Avishka.
In the match, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first. After 29 overs they are at 126/3 with Kusal Mendis (64*) and Charith Asalanka (2*) on the crease.
