Barring inclement weather, Australia will step out again at the Cricket World Cup tonight and realistically, they should be recording a comfortable win over Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka are clearly in a rebuilding phase and this just is not the quality of cricket that we’ve come to expect of the sub-continent nation. Their matches with Pakistan and Bangladesh were washed out, but they offered virtually nothing against New Zealand and would need to improve tenfold to worry Australia.
The ledger stands at 2-1 for the Aussies and they’ll be eager to atone for the loss to India. This is an ideal opportunity for them and vital batting practice for the middle order.
Tips:
David Warner Australia Top Runscorer @ $3.50
Pat Cummins Australia Top Wicket Taker @ $3.50
Angelo Mathews Sri Lanka Top Runscorer @ $6
The action returns to Wales later tonight when South Africa attempt to record a win at the expense of minnows Afghanistan.
It has not been happy hunting for the Proteas at Cricket World Cup 2019 and they are all but assured of an early ticket home. The barely got a run before their match with the West Indies was abandoned and they lost all of their three matches prior.
If Dale Steyn returns than I think that the result of this match is a foregone conclusion, but South Africa have been sub-par and are in real danger of suffering another historic defeat.
Tips:
Quinton de Kock South Africa Top Runscorer @ $3.75
Mujeeb ur Rehman Afghanistan Top Wicket Taker @ $4.50
