COLOMBO – Co-host Sri Lanka to take on defending champions Australia today at R. Premadasa Stadium at Colombo. As per the latest reports from the ground, Sri Lanka is going to bat first after winning the toss.
Australia haven't played a game in Sri Lanka for about 7 years now, and with Sri Lanka having already lost a game, this surely promises to be a thrilling challenge. Sri Lanka would surely want to take revenge and the 2007 World Cup final defeat will be at the back of their minds.
Will Lasith Malinga replicate what he did against Kenya? Will Ponting and his team bat the hosts out of the game? A sense of thrill is surely creeping in …
Australia (Playing XI): Shane Watson, Brad Haddin(w), Ricky Ponting(c), Michael Clarke, Cameron White, David Hussey, Steven Smith, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Jason Krejza, Shaun Tait
Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Upul Tharanga, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara(w/c), Mahela Jayawardene, Thilan Samaraweera, Chamara Silva, Angelo Mathews, Lasith Malinga, Rangana Herath, Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis
