Australia: Australia need a strong comeback after a shocking 23-run defeat against Zimbabwe. Key contributors like Travis Head, Matt Renshaw (65 off 44 in last match), and Tim David (SR 195.44 over past 12 months) will be crucial. Their bowling attack, led by Adam Zampa and Marcus Stoinis, needs to tighten up after the last outing.
Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka are unbeaten in the tournament so far, with big wins over Oman and solid performances from Kusal Mendis (61 off 45), Pathum Nissanka, and Dasun Shanaka. The spinners, Maheesh Theekshana (5 wickets) and Dushmantha Chameera, will test Australia on this balanced yet spin-friendly Pallekele surface.

The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium wicket is balanced and generally high-scoring. The outfield is fast, and spinners enjoy good grip and turn through the middle overs. The average first-innings score here is 175, and teams batting first should aim for around 200 to feel safe.
Overcast skies are expected, with temperatures around 20–27°C. Humidity will be high at about 73%, but there is a 0% chance of rain, making it ideal for a full 20-over game.
