The second and final Test between Australia and Sri Lanka will begin at Manuka Oval in Canberra tomorrow.
Australia won the first Test by an innings and 40 runs inside three days in Brisbane and seeing both team's composition and form they should win the second Test as well. For Australia Pat Cummins and Jhye Richardson were superb with the ball and in batting, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschange had good outings.
On the other hand, Sri Lankan batsmen need to step up and have to support bowlers with big runs. Suranga Lakmal was outstanding in the day night Test in Brisbane but his efforts weren't enough to keep his team in the game.
