Australia vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction CWC: Head-to-Head
A storied World Cup rivalry, Australia and Sri Lanka have faced off 11 times in the history of the ICC Cricket World Cup. Out of these, Australia won eight while one saw no result. One of Australia’s wins was in the final of the 2007 Cricket World Cup.

However, it is the two Sri Lanka wins that have an interesting story. Both of these came in the 1996 World Cup. Lanka took the first match with a walkover, as Australia refused to travel to the island nation due to security threats. The second win was in the final of that World Cup, where Sri Lanka shocked the world by becoming World Champions.

Australia vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction CWC: 5 Players to Watch
Australia: Former Aussie captain Steve Smith has been one of the most reliable batsmen in all formats for years. Since 2020, his average in ODIs has been above 60. One of the fabled ‘Fab-4’, Smith has tons of experience playing on Indian soil. He even captained Australia to an ODI series win against India in India
Australia: Mitchell Starc is definitely one of the greatest bowlers of this generation. His rapid pace, lethal bouncers, and ability to swing the ball 8 ways to Sunday make him a complete package. It should also be noted that Starc is a different beast in ICC Cricket World Cups.
Sri Lanka: Wanindu Hasaranga is one of the best all-rounders in the world, ranked no.7 all-rounder in ODIs. Clearly a bowler more than a batter, Hasaranga’s crafty leg-spin neatly couples his ability to hit the ball out of the park. He will anchor the Sri Lankan side in the World Cup
Sri Lanka: Maheesh Theekshana is the latest in a line of Sri Lankan mystery spinners. He can spin the ball both ways and hit the deck for some uneven bounce on occasion.
Australia: As the latest Australian pace all-rounder, Cameron Green can do it all. The 6-foot-7 Perth native showed his all-round ability on Indian soil in IPL 2023 for Mumbai Indians. He also performed well in the Border-Gavaskar trophy.

Australia vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction CWC and Pitch Report
In recent times, pitches in Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium have been slow and dry. The pitch has helped spin bowling from early overs in the first innings itself.
With that in mind, Sri Lanka could definitely cause an upset in this match with the help of their impressive spin attack. But Australian spinners are no slouch either.
Even if we take spin into account. Australia’s batting attack is just so much better than that of Sri Lanka. Many of them have also spent years playing in the IPL. With all that being said –
Prediction: Australia will win Match 14 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka
