In the twentieth match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Sri Lanka and defending champions, Australia will face off each other at Kennington Oval in London today. 

Sri Lanka has four points from four matches and to stay alive in the race of top-four finish they need to win at least four of their remaining five matches so it is going to be a very important match for them. Sri Lanka's batting has been disappointing and except Kusal Perera and Dimuth Karunaratne, all other batsmen looked clueless against seam, swing and spin bowling.

Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Lahiru Thirimanne, Thisara Perera, etc need to step up. In the bowling, Lasith Malinga, Nuwan Pradeep, and Isuru Udana have done well so far.

On the other hand, Australia has six points from four matches and will look to continue their winning run against Sri Lanka as well. Their batting performance has been good so far. David Warner, Aaron Finch, Steve Smith all three have got more than one fifty-plus score each but other batsmen like Usman Khawaja, Glenn Maxwell, and Shaun Marsh haven't looked in good touch but they have a good opportunity to come back in form against an average bowling attack of Sri Lanka.

In the bowling, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc have been excellent but Nathan Coulter Nile, Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell have been expensive so far and their form is a big concern for Aussies.
