Match Preview
The 14th fixture of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is already here and with it, Australia are ready to lock horns with Sri Lanka. The fixture will take place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on October 16, Monday. The five-time champions haven't been able to play their A-game so far in the tournament and hence, haven't opened their winning account.
Meanwhile, things haven't been different for Sri Lanka as well, as they also lack victory in the marquee tournament. It will be interesting to see which team comes out as winners and record their first victory in the season.
Toss Prediction
Both Australia and Sri Lanka have already played two matches each in the season so far. If we take a look at their individual toss records in the season so far, both Pat Cummins and Dasun Shanaka got lucky in the toss battles. The toss tally for both the captains reads 2-2 in the favour of both the skippers. We think that in the forthcoming match, Pat Cummins would have luck on his side, and he will win the toss.
Win Possibility
Australia and Sri Lanka share an ODI rivalry of 103 matches. Out of these 103 games, the former emerged victorious on 63 occasions, while Sri Lanka gained the lead in 36 fixtures. Though the Aussies haven't been able to win any of the matches so far in the tournament, one cannot deny that they are one of the strongest teams in the world.
We think Pat Cummins and Co. will take full advantage of the fact that they have comparatively a weaker team to play against. The Baggy Greens are likely to put their best foot forward and hold a good chance to come on top.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Ekana Cricket Stadium, in the City of Nawabs, Lucknow are to host a total of five matches in the ongoing season of the ODI World Cup. If we have a look at the past matches played at the stadium, a total of 10 50-over matches have been played at the venue so far, with an average first inning score of 228.
Considering this, we think the first inning score in the upcoming match is expected to be around 265-285, while the powerplay score is expected to hover between 40-45.
