After a whitewash over Pakistan in Pakistan, Sri Lanka was set for a much bigger challenge as they had another 3-match T20 series scheduled, this time against Australia in Australia. Clearly, it’s a massive challenge as they went on to take a hammering in the 1st T20 at Adelaide Oval. Australia batted first and put up a record score of 233/2 and then, the visitors crumbled to 99/9, Australia winning by 134 runs!
Australian pitches are known for pace and bounce and if the Sri Lankan pacers don’t improve, we can expect a similar result once again. After losing their last home T20 series against Sri Lanka, the hosts will be wanting to win today and wrap up the series early.

Australia
Lead pacer Mitchell Starc is set to miss this 2nd T20 as he attends his brother’s wedding, and Billy Stanlake or Sean Abbott will be the likely replacement. With more international exposure recently, Stanlake is the likely replacement, with 25 wickets in 17 T20Is. Kane Richardson has only 3 wickets in his last 5 games, and I’ll rather pick Pat Cummins who is a wicket machine across all formats, picking 2/27 int he 1st T20.
Leg-spinner Adam Zampa was the wrecker-in-chief in the 1st T20 with amazing figures of 3/14 in 4 overs. He picked up 2/22 in his only previous T20I at this ground and if you have another bowler spot in your fantasy team, pick him too. With the bat, David Warner smashed a ton in the last game but he only had 95 runs in 5 Ashes Tests prior to that. I’d take a big gamble and pick the in-form Steven Smith instead of Warner.
Sri Lanka
Talking about bouncy pitches, you can’t miss the fiery pacer Nuwan Pradeep in your Rotobash (sign-up to get Rs.100 FREE) fantasy team, as he had 8 wickets in his last 3 games for Sri Lanka prior to the last game. There too, he went for 0/28 in 4 overs while the rest were smashed around the park. Pick captain Lasith Malinga as the legend has 20 wickets in his last 10 games including 5/6 in his last T20 against New Zealand before this series.
With the bat, it was good to see wicket-keeper batsman Kusal Perera picked in the team and he scored 16 in the middle order. He’s done well in Australia in the past and he’s a part of my fantasy team too. As for Oshada Fernando, he recently scored 78* on his debut against Pakistan and 13 in this 1st T20 as well, so he’s one potential winner for you in your fantasy leagues, as many don’t know much about this player.
