Australia’s performance in the first ODI wasn’t up to the mark as they lost the game by 49 runs against Sri Lanka. They got a target of 215 runs but failed to chase it down. Sri Lanka’s bowling was extremely strong, making it difficult for the Aussie batters to stick around. The last game is on February 14, and Australia must win the game to tie the series or else they’ll be whitewashed after having a brilliant Test series a few days ago. The Australian side is quite strong on the field, especially the bowlers. Losing against Sri Lanka ahead of the Champions Trophy doesn’t seem good for the team’s confidence.
Here are the predicted top three performers from 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka:
1. Sean Abbott

Australia’s pacer Sean Abbott was phenomenal in the first game, taking three wickets in nine overs. While he was a bit expensive, he made sure to take wickets at regular intervals. He bowled for nine overs and conceded 61 runs. He dismissed the centurion and brought Australia back into the game.
2. Steve Smith

Captain Steve Smith is a brilliant batter in all the conditions. Even though he failed in the previous game, he has the required amount of experience to score well in the upcoming game and save the team from a series defeat.
3. Alex Carey

Keeper-batter Alex Carey was the highest scorer in the previous game and is the strength of the middle order. He can single handedly win games for Australia which is a good thing about him. Carey’s performance has been good in the past and he will surely try to continue it in the upcoming games.
