Both Australia and Sri Lanka are eager to secure a win so that they could improve their standings in ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 Points Table.

So far in ODI World Cup 2023, Sri Lanka have been involved in two highly entertaining matches, featuring a high-scoring encounter against South Africa and a record run-chase against Pakistan. Australia, on the other hand, have struggled, facing one-sided defeats in their opening two ODI World Cup 2023 fixtures. Australia began their ODI World Cup campaign with a humiliating loss to hosts India in Chennai and in their second ODI World Cup 2023 match, Pat Cummins-led team suffered their worst-ever defeat in a World Cup match, losing to Temba Bevuma-led South Africa by 134 runs.

Sri Lanka, in their previous two ODI World Cup 2023 matches, successfully crossed the 300-run mark, while Australia have so far failed to post a score of 200 or more so far in the tournament. This sets up an intriguing clash between the two teams as they look to secure their first win in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023.
