THE PREDICTION
Australia’s biggest worry heading into this first ODI are their injuries particularly within the bowling department. However, this is where bringing such a vast contingent of players on tour with them will reap its rewards with captain Aaron Finch and coach Andrew McDonald able to call upon players from the touring A squad as cover. Sri Lanka’s batters will see this as an opportunity for them to try and capitalise on facing a depleting visiting bowling unit, but they are still set to face a formidable pack which includes the likes of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazelwood. When it comes to batting, Australia boasts a far stronger top order compared to that of Sri Lanka and this should ultimately drive the tourists to victory in this first ODI of the series.
