SL vs AUS 2nd ODI Match Preview: The second ODI match between the two teams will take place at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on February 14, 2025, starting at 10:00 AM.
Team Preview of Sri Lanka vs Australia 2nd ODI Match Prediction 2025
The first test match tested the Australian newcomers, who failed to deliver well in the spin-friendly condition, with the pitch being tricky. Sri Lanka won the match by 49 runs even after setting a total of 214 runs in which the captain, Charith Asalanka, was the player. After scoring 127 runs out of 214 runs, the whole team scored and also to a wicket, which is just an outstanding performance.
The alarm is out for the Australian team because they are going to miss many senior players. The team consists of many young players who did not play many matches in the Asian conditions, which was already seen in the first match as they failed to play spin.
Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell are likely to come to the team in place of Cooper Connolly and Jake.

The pitch report for the last ODI match at R. Premadasa Stadium highlighted a surface that appeared quite bare, with hardly any green grass and the brown grass rolled in nicely.
According to Farveez Maharoof, a good time to bat is against the new ball when it skids on, but as the day progresses, the pitch slows down, making spinners increasingly influential. He suggested that batting first and setting a score around 230+ would likely lead to success.
As we look ahead to the next match, expectations remain similar. The pitch is again projected to be spin-friendly. Teams will need to strategize accordingly, particularly emphasizing their spin bowling options to capitalize on the surface’s turning nature.
