Sri Lanka will take on Australia in the 11th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2023 at St George’s Park in Gqeberha. The T20 World Cup is heating up as Sri Lanka prepares to take on Australia in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. Both teams have won their first two matches, with Australia currently sitting at the top of the points table and Sri Lanka in second place.

With the bat, the Aussies have been in good form and will look to continue their run-scoring spree against Sri Lanka.

In terms of team composition, both teams have a good mix of experience and youth. Overall, this match promises to be an exciting contest between two evenly-matched teams.

ICC T20 World Cup 2023: Sri Lanka vs Australia, Match 11 – Key Players

Sri Lanka:

Chamari Athapaththu: The Sri Lankan captain is a match-winner in every sense of the word. She is a top-order batter who has the ability to anchor the innings and score runs at a brisk pace, and she is also a handy spinner who can pick up crucial wickets in the middle overs. Athapaththu has contributed to both departments of the game in this tournament. She will be looking to lead from the front and inspire her team to win against Australia.

Harshitha Madavi: Madavi is a talented young batter who has shown great promise in her short career so far. She is a natural stroke player who is not afraid to take on the bowlers, and her ability to play spin makes her a valuable asset for Sri Lanka on pitches that tend to take turns.

The young Sri Lankan batter was the star in her team’s previous match against Bangladesh. She scored a brilliant half-century, which helped Sri Lanka chase down a challenging total with ease. Madavi will be looking to replicate her heroics against Australia and help Sri Lanka continue their winning streak in the tournament.

Australia:

Alyssa Healy: The Australian wicket-keeper batter is one of the most explosive players in the game. In the two matches she has played in this tournament, Healy has already scored 92 runs at a strike rate of over 120.

Her aggressive style of play at the top of the order often puts pressure on the opposition bowlers, and she has the ability to take the game away from the opposition with her hard-hitting abilities. She will be looking to continue her good form against Sri Lanka and give Australia a flying start at the top of the order.

Ashleigh Gardner: The Australian all-rounder has been in superb form with both bat and ball. Gardner is an exciting all-rounder who brings a lot of skills to the table. She is a dynamic batter who can score quick runs in the middle order, and she is also a useful off-spinner who can take wickets in the middle overs.

In the two matches she has played so far in the tournament, Gardner has taken six wickets and scored valuable runs with the bat. She will be a key player for Australia and will be expected to play a big role in this match.

ICC T20 World Cup 2023: Sri Lanka vs Australia, Match 11 – Pitch Report and Weather Forecast

The pitch at St George’s Park is generally considered to be one of the slower and lower-scoring pitches in South Africa. The surface is often on the dry side, which means that it tends to take turns as the match progresses, making it a spinners’ paradise.

In the early stages of the match, however, the surface tends to be good for batting, and fast bowlers can also get some help from the pitch due to the occasional uneven bounce. The outfield is typically fast, which means that there is value for shots that are timed well.

The weather at Gqeberha is expected to have showers, with the temperature hovering around 24° C. There are 50% chances of rain, with the humidity ranging around 76% and wind speed at 26 km/h.
