SL vs AUS Preview

After winning the previous three matches, Sri Lanka won an ODI series against Australia for the first time in 30 years.
So far in the series, Sri Lankan players have scored two centuries and five fifties, while Australians have only scored five fifties.
In the previous game, Sri Lanka used 43 overs of spin, while Australia used only 18 overs.

The five-match One-Day International (ODI) series between Sri Lanka and Australia concludes on Friday in Colombo. Sri Lanka has won the last three games to take an unassailable 3-1 series lead. The hosts have defeated Australia in a home ODI bilateral series for the first time since 1992. The series finale begins at 14:30 local time at the R.Premadasa Stadium.

After coming back from a 1-0 deficit, Sri Lanka has demonstrated a great deal of skill and character in this series. They will be buoyed by a partisan crowd and will be confident of winning the series 4-1.

Australia were defeated by only four runs on Tuesday, and they will be determined to win the Test series, which begins on Wednesday.

SL vs AUS Weather Report

Thunderstorms are expected during this match, according to the forecast. Expect hot and sticky conditions throughout the game on Friday.

SL vs AUS Match Toss Prediction

So far in this series, Australia has chosen to bat first once and field first twice. With the humidity expected to rise during the second half of this game, we expect both captains to want to field first.

SL vs AUS Pitch Report

Spinners on both sides have caused plenty of problems for batters on this pitch throughout the series. On this pitch, any score over 280 will be extremely difficult to chase.

Sri Lanka made one change ahead of the fourth ODI on Tuesday. Pace bowler Dushmantha Chameera was ruled out due to ankle swelling and was replaced by injured spinner Wanindu Hasaranga. The hosts are expected to field an unchanged starting lineup for this final game.
