In the 14th match of the ODI World Cup 2023, Australia are scheduled to compete against Sri Lanka at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. After losing their opening two matches in the flagship tournament, both the former champions are under pressure to bring their campaign back on track in the flagship tournament, at the expense of each other. With Sri Lanka winning three out of the last four ODIs against Australia, the expectation for a competitive match between both these teams isn’t going to be out of the question. Pitch Report In the first match of the ODI World Cup 2023, the pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium was quite good for batting, which allowed South Africa to post a total in excess of 300 on the board.
