The bowling department of Australia gave an outstanding performance in their first match against South Africa where they leaked just 118 runs in their inning of 20 overs. Almost all bowlers from their side performed well and picked wickets. Adam Zampa was the most successful bowler from their side who picked two wickets in his four overs bowled out against 21 runs. Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc also picked two wickets each while Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins picked one wicket each.

Sri Lanka had got the momentum after having a lot of poor performances in a couple of years. They beat Bangladesh in their previous match with a handsome margin of five wickets. The bowling unit of this team totally failed to give the best performance. They leaked 171 runs in their inning of 20 overs. Chamika Karunaratne, Binura Fernando, and Lahiru Kumara picked one wicket each while Dushmantha Chameera, Charith Asalanka, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Dasun Shanaka were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket.

The 22nd Match of World Cup T20 2021 is going to be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. 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 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Dubai 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.
