Australia vs Sri Lanka 1st ODi Live Score Update

Sri Lanka is pretty confident after winning the T20 against Australia, however match starts in balance and no team can be called favorites as Australia has not been playing Australia which known for its high class cricket in the recent times. Another blow to Australia even before the match started was ouster of Ricky Ponting due to injury.

Though Australia have started off quite well after elected to bat first as they have posted 40 runs with the loss off 1 wicket at the end of 9 overs. Shane Watson is back into the pavilion. Xavier Doherty is making his debut from Australia who would provide his slow left-arm orthodox services when Sri Lanka would bat.

Players to watch out for are Craig White, Thisara Perera. Peter Siddle and Angeloe Matthews.

Teams:

Sri Lanka:

WU Tharanga, TM Dilshan, KC Sangakkara, DPMD Jayawardene, LPC Silva, AD Mathews, NLTC Perera, S Randiv, KMDN Kulasekara, M Muralitharan, SL Malinga

Australia:
SR Watson, BJ Haddin MJ Clarke, MEK Hussey, CL White, SE Marsh, SPD Smith, JW Hastings, MG Johnson, PM Siddle, XJ Doherty

Prediction:

It seems Austrlia would be taking its revenge of Twenty20 game which it lost against Sri Lanka on Sunday. Haddin is playing quite well and looks set. Sri Lankan bowlers till this time have not anything extra ordinary and neither have been able to contain the Australians despite of taking the wickets of Shane Watson. If Craig White shines today when he comes to bat, Sri Lanka would have uphill task in their hand.
