Team Preview of Sri Lanka vs Australia 2nd Test Match Prediction 2025

Australia sealed their place for the final of the WTC and will play against the South African side at Lords after winning the first test match against Sri Lanka by an innings and a massive 242 runs, which is notable as one of their biggest wins.

For the Sri Lanka side, it was their biggest innings defeat as before this, they had a record of losing by an innings and 239 runs against India at Nagpur in 2017, but now it has become their biggest defeat.

Usman Khawaja scored a double century which was so commanding as he didn’t have to face Bumrah which surely gave him great motivation because against Bumrah he was like some 17-year-old academy player but when he turned up against the Sri Lanka side he showed that if you filter out top pacers then he is one of the greatest opening batters.

As we discussed before, Travis Head opened for Australia and did quite well, scoring 57 runs in just 40 balls, but the great innings came from Debutant Josh Inglish, who scored a century on his debut match and became the 21st Australian to score a century on debut and 3rd player who did in Asian conditions.

Steven Smith also scored his 35th test century and also completed 10,000 runs in Test cricket. He failed to do it against the Indian team’s mighty bowling lineup.

In the last match, the pitch proved to be a batting paradise for the first two days, allowing batters to score freely and capitalize on the favorable conditions. However, as the match progressed, the surface began to assist spinners remarkably well, giving them significant support and turning the tide in their favor.

There is a chance that the next pitch used in the same stadium will mostly be more spin-friendly, and the ball can turn from day one.

3. Sonal Dinusha is an uncapped player included in the test squad, and he should definitely be a part of the next match. With impressive statistics of 94 wickets in 61 innings and 2,285 runs at an average of 40.08 over 69 innings, he has the potential to be a standout differential pick. As a left-arm orthodox spinner, he could be particularly effective against Australia’s right-handed batters. His inclusion could make a significant impact.

Important players for the Australia Team in the match against the Sri Lanka Team

1. Matt Kuhnemann took 9 wickets in the last match after clearing himself fit, and it was one of the best performances by an Australian in the Asian condition.

2. Nathan Lyon has taken 22 wickets in 7 innings at Galle and 53 wickets in 27 innings against Sri Lanka, making him Australia’s main strike bowler.

3. Steven Smith will be a great pick for your side once again, as he scored a century in the last match, and now he has an average of 59.88 in 10 innings.
