Sri Lanka vs Australia 2nd ODI: jeetbuzz ক্যাসিনো Australia attack early after Sri Lanka choose to bat

jeetbuzz ক্যাসিনো In the ODI series opener in Colombo, Australia’s makeshift batting line-up failed to impress with the spin-battling trio of Hasaranga, Theekshana and Dunith Wellalage. Despite a good bowling performance from the visitors, they were eager to improve their batting as they aimed to equalise the match.

The match was an afterthought as Australia would have faced its arch-rivals England in an ICC event a week later, otherwise Sri Lanka would have been declared the winners after winning the series opener in Colombo. It has almost become a weapon, a toolkit that allows Sri Lanka to call up its own team, play tight defence against visiting batsmen and stifle them on slow, twisting tracks. It happened last year against India and the West Indies, and Australia's makeshift batting line-up was not immune.

Australia is giving several Test specialists a rest and could bring Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell back for the deciding game. In fact, Australia bowled so well that if it wasn’t for the heroic bowling of captain Charith Asalanka, the match would have probably ended in a victory for Steve Smith and Co. Asalanka has been in fantastic form with the bat since taking over as captain and he must be raring to go again to become the first captain to sweep Australia in a home ODI series.

Australia may not face as many twists and sluggishness in Pakistan, where the wickets are largely flat, but the format still needs tweaking and the visitors will have another chance to iron out most of the flaws before the Champions Trophy.
