Sri Lanka gets ready to hist Australia in an important T20 international series. Not only is this another World Cup year but the turmoil in the country also makes this series an important distraction. Both teams have named a full-strength squad and will be looking to start off on the front foot.
While Sri Lanka is the home team, it is by no means the favorite to win. The best cricket betting sites like Betway, 10Cric, Parimatch, or others are all offering pretty generous odds on Sri Lanka to win this match. Australia's record against Sri Lanka in T20 cricket is phenomenal. It has lost just one game in the previous ten that it has played against Sri Lanka.
Can Sri Lanka start things afresh now?
Match prediction and cricket betting tips for Sri Lanka vs Australia 1st T20 2022. The match is going to be played at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on the 7th of June 2022.
Sri Lanka has its work cut out when it takes on Australia (the current T20 World Champions). As we mentioned, Sri Lanka has won just one match against Australia in the previous ten it has played. However, when you take matches played in Sri Lanka into consideration, the record becomes a bit more even at 2-2.
Sri Lanka has also found a few promising youngsters in recent times that should help it be more competitive. We are talking about players like Wanindu Hasaranga, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Matheesha Pathirana, and Pathum Nissanka.
All of them should find a place in the playing eleven for Sri Lanka. Then there is Dasun Shanaka, who has been around for a long time but seems to have really improved his batting in the last couple of years. He is the captain of the team and we expect some brave choices to be made from him.
We don't think this is a team that you want to write off completely. If the conditions help it a bit, they could very quickly start to pile the pressure on Australia.
From a bettor's perspective, we think Bhanuka Rajapaksa to hit a six and Wanindu Hasaranga to be the top bowler for Sri Lanka seem to be good options. We usually avoid betting markets that are based around individuals and instead focus on markets that take the performance of the team into account as they tend to be less volatile.
Pathum Nissanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Charith Asalanka, Kusal Mendis, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka, Wanidu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, PVD Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana, Nuwan Thushara.
Australia comes into this series with a squad that is absolutely stacked with world-class players. In fact, Australia has Tim David on its radar (arguably the best striker of a cricket ball in the world right now) but cannot fit him into the team because there is just no place!
Their batting is likely to feature Aaron Finch, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Matthew Wade, and Marcus Stoinis. This is a very flexible batting lineup with players moving up and down as required.
Interestingly, the two players who place in the team is going to be in question are Aaron Finch and Steve Smith! Finch has been in poor form and Smith struggles to fit into the traditional T20 mold.
We are interested in betting on David Warner to score runs continuing from his brilliant IPL and also on Glenn Maxwell to make a contribution with both the bat and ball. There are a lot of other betting markets also available to be explored.
The bowling attack for Australia is interesting. They do not have Pat Cummins available for this series so one out of Jhye Richardson or Sean Abbott could get a run. We think it is going to be Richardson because of the extra pace he has.
Josh Hazelwood, Mitch Starc, and Ashton Agar could be the other bowlers that make the cut.
There is quality in every single aspect of this Australian team and the depth of talent is just incredible.
Aaron Finch, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steven Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson, Josh Hazlewood.
The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first with dew perhaps being a bigger factor in the second inning. Overall, though, there have been18 T20 internationals won by the team batting first and 18 by the team that has chased at the R. Premadasa Stadium.
If you just look at the recent past, four out of the previous five matches at this venue have been won by the chasing team.

We are going to bet on Australia to win this match. Australia has a stronger T20 team than Sri Lanka in almost every aspect. We do expect Sri Lanka to give a better fight than the odds suggest and this is why we are going to hedge our bets whenever the opportunities arise during in-play betting but Australia is still the team that you want to lean heavily on.
Australia's past record at the venue, its current status as World Champions, and its fantastic depth in both batting and bowling makes it the team to back.
Bet on Australia to win.
We think this is a good opportunity to bet against the favorite (Australia). Sri Lanka's opening batters are quite decent but the fact that Aaron Finch is in poor form also allows an opportunity to take a punt on this betting market.
The odds available in this betting market are not the greatest but we still think there is no way that you can look past this. Australia has so much more power at its disposal that it is likely to hit more sixes in most matches! Also, Australia's bowling attack makes hitting sixes very difficult for the opposition.
The average score at this venue is close to 160. That is around 8 an over. If you see the recent pattern of T20 cricket, teams tend to go hard at the top, consolidate for a short while, and then go hard again. Australia's batting strength will allow it to score Over 69.5 in our opinion.
