Australia and Sri Lanka will lock horns in the Super 12 stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 on Tuesday. While defending champions and hosts Australia suffered a humbling defeat at the hands of New Zealand in their opening match, Sri Lanka would head into this match riding on an impressive show in Round 1 after a defeat at the hands of Namibia in the opening game followed by a win over Ireland in their first Super 12 match.
Before the two sides lock horns, here is a look at the picture painted by statistics and the betting odds for this fixture between the two former champions.
1. Toss Prediction
Sri Lanka won just 1 of their last 3 tosses. On the other hand, Australia have won all three tosses in their last 3 T20Is. So going by Australia's 100 per cent toss-winning rate in the last 3 T20Is, predicting them to win the toss.
2. Win Possibility
Predicting Australia to win this match. The defending champions entered this tournament as among the favourites to emerge as the champions. While they suffered a loss in their opening match against the Kiwis, one would still back them to win this fixture.
3. Team of the Day
The Team of the Day is Australia. The two teams have met each other a total of 25 times and Australia have emerged victorious in 14 of those with one match ending on a tie and 10 matches going Sri Lanka's way. Australia are also the better-ranked team in the ICC Men's T20I Rankings.
4. Predicted powerplay Score and average first innings total
The average first innings score at Perth is 142 in T20Is. In the only T20 World Cup 2022 match that has been played here so far, Afghanistan scored 112 in the first innings. The predicted powerplay score is expected to be between 40-50.
