Australia have been hit hard by early losses against India and South Africa in their first two games. They are led by Pat Cummins and are in a must-win territory in the remaining seven games.

They lost by 102 runs against South Africa, while Pakistan tracked a record score against them to beat them in the second game.
The AUS vs SL match will be played in Lucknow. Australia having already played a game will have a slight advantage in knowing the conditions. Their spin attack, however, looks depleted with Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell the only two spin options. Ashton Agar being ruled out of the tournament came as a big blow to them. They are also awaiting the fitness update of Travis Head who is nursing an injured left arm. He could have been the third spin option had he been fit.

Sri Lanka,are also missing Wanindu Hasaranga and Dusmantha Chameera. Hasaranga was the top wicket-taker in the qualifiers.
