Australia will battle against Sri Lanka in the 14th match of the ICC Cricket ODI World Cup 2023 on Monday at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Australia suffered an embarrassing 134-run defeat against South Africa in their previous encounter and are yet to open their account in the tournament. Similarly, Sri Lanka are also searching for their maiden win in the tournament after back-to-back losses to the Proteas side and Pakistan.
Both teams will now be determined to end their losing streak.
ODI World Cup 2023, AUS vs SL:

Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow has not witnessed many one-day cricket matches, and the statistics at this ground indicate that spin bowlers may play a pivotal role in shaping the game’s outcome with a slight edge over batters and seamers. Although the pitch tends to favour teams chasing a target, it’s worth noting that Australia suffered a loss against South Africa at this very venue during a run chase in their last fixture. Overall, both teams might find themselves in a highly competitive position and may look to bat first, considering the last game played at this ground.
