Pre-match Updates
Head to Head comparison of matches played and won between the two teams shows that out of 4 matches played between them in T20 WCs, Australia has won 3 times whereas Sri Lanka managed to win on 1 occasion, which means Australia has a win percentage of around 75% against Sri Lanka in T20 World Cups.
Overall, Australia and Sri Lanka have been against each other in 16 encounters and the win percentage here is 50:50.
Australia played their opening match of the super 12 round against South Africa and won by 5 wickets. On the other hand, Sri Lanka too is coming with a win against Bangladesh.
I believe, the toss will have a major impact on the outcome of the match. Most of the team is choosing bowling after winning the toss.
