Players to Watch Out for in Australia vs. Sri Lanka ICC Cricket World Cup 14th Match

The ICC Cricket World Cup’s 14th match will be a do-or-die match for both Australia and Sri Lanka. Both of the team has lost their first two matches so this match will be a crucial factor for both of them. As we gear up for the die-hard match, let’s take a closer look at some key players who are expected to make a significant impact on the game.

 

Before diving into the players to watch, let’s quickly glance at the recent head-to-head encounters between these two teams. In their last five matches, the results have been quite evenly balanced:

 

In the cricket matches played in June 2022, the Australian team secured a victory by four wickets with 63 balls to spare against Sri Lanka on the 24th of June. However, earlier in the month, on the 21st of June, Sri Lanka managed to win a closely contested match, triumphing by just four runs. In another encounter on the 19th of June, Sri Lanka claimed a victory by six wickets with nine balls remaining. In a match affected by the Duckworth-Lewis (D/L) method on the 16th of June, Sri Lanka won by 26 runs. Conversely, on the 14th of June, Australia pulled off a win by two wickets with nine balls to spare, also employing the D/L method.

 

With such close encounters, it’s evident that both teams have a lot to prove and are evenly matched. Now, let’s shift our focus to the players who could play pivotal roles in the upcoming game.
