Sri Lanka vs Australia prediction

Australia demonstrated just why they are reigning world champions this past Wednesday after racking up 326 when batting first against New Zealand. They then proceeded to bowl out the White Ferns for just 237, thus sealing a massive 89-run win. They looked every bit as formidable as expected and any team that beats them will need to have put together a special performance.

That is unlikely to be Sri Lanka, who were beaten comfortably by India. Despite having home advantage, Australia are such a good side and significantly level above the hosts when it comes to out-and-out ability on the field player-for-player. The options possessed by the Aussies both with bat and ball are so vast that they will be expected to win this one comprehensively.
