The 19th match of World Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between Australia and Sri Lanka on Tuesday, 25th October 2022 at Perth Stadium, Perth

Australia was demolished by New Zealand in their very first match. The best bowling unit in the world was destroyed by the batters of New Zealand. Australia won the toss and decided to field first. They leaked plenty of runs right from the first over. They leaked a total of 200 runs in 20 overs. We think that they were charged for near about 40 runs above the par score. Josh Hazlewood was the highest wicket-taker from their side but he also leaked a lot of runs like all other bowlers. He was charged with 41 runs in four overs. Adam Zampa was the other bowler who had a wicket to his name. He picked one wicket while he was charged with 39 runs.

Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Marcus Stoinis were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket in the previous match. One bad performance can guarantee that the team is on the weak side. Australia has a strong batting order which has some unique records. They were not impressive in the previous match where they could manage to score 111 runs and their full team came back to the pavilion in 17.1 overs while chasing the target of 201 runs. Glenn Maxwell was the most successful batter with just 28 runs to his name on 20 balls with the help of three boundaries and one huge six. Pat Cummins scored 21 runs.

Sri Lanka had faced some major issues with the fitness of their key players and two main players of Sri Lanka had been ruled out from this big event of cricket. They are in a challenging situation and are also performing well. The spin bowling unit of Sri Lanka had been their key strength in this tournament. The pace bowling unit of Sri Lanka is not performing well and we think that they will be put to the sword by the batters of Australia. Pathum Nissanka had been the leading batter of Sri Lanka but we are not sure that he will be available for this match. If he is not available, this can be a massive blow to the batting department of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka had beaten Ireland in their most recent match with a margin of nine wickets. They lost the toss and were asked to field first. The performance of their bowling unit was good and they leaked 128 runs. M Theekshana and W Hasaranga picked two wickets each while B Fernando, Lahiru Kumara, C Karunaratne, and Dhananjaya de Silva picked one wicket each. The batting order of Sri Lanka also performed well and chased the target of 129 runs in just 15 overs. Kusal Mendis proved the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side who remained not out after scoring 68 runs on 43 balls with the help of five boundaries and three huge sixes. Dhananjaya de Silva scored 31 runs. Charith Asalanka also scored 31 runs on 22 balls. He smashed two boundaries during his inning.

Australia played 25 T20 matches against Sri Lanka where they won 15 matches while Sri Lanka won 10 matches.

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 19th match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Perth Stadium, Perth. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 190 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Perth is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
