Australia vs Sri Lanka Chance of Winning

Australia head into this tournament after inconsistent performance in this format as they lost back to back series against India and Pakistan. They have struggled so far as they have one defeat in two games and need a win in this fixture to qualify for the next round. In the last game they lost against Zimbabwe.

Much like their opponents, Sri Lanka struggled prior to this campaign as they lost against England 3-0 but they have managed to turn things around and have won both games thus far and are currently at the top of the table. As per our calculations, Australia are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • Australia’ chances of winning - 70%
  • Sri Lanka’ chances of winning - 30%

Australia vs Sri Lanka Prediction & Tips 2026

Glenn Maxwell has been underwhelming since he returned after a long lay off due to injury and he once again struggled to make an impact in this campaign which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Pathum Nissanka was the standout batter for Sri Lanka last year but has struggled to make an impact thus far. In the last game he scored 13 runs which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.
