Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and chose to field first against Sri Lanka in Super 12 match 22 of ICC T20 World Cup 2021 at the Dubai International Stadium.

Dasun Shanaka, the skipper of Sri Lanka, says that they would have bowled first as well. Informs that Maheesh Theekshana comes in for Binura Fernando. 

Finch says it looks like a good wicket and it won’t change a lot, it is not as hot as it usually is and he would look to chase well later on.

Former champions Sri Lanka will look to exploit Australia’s top-order woes when they clash in a group 1 Super 12 match of the T20 World Cup. 

Sri Lanka, who had won the title in 2014, topped group A with three successive wins before outwitting Bangladesh by five wickets in their first Super 12 match. 

On the other hand, the Aussies, who are yet to win the T20 World Cup, scampered home in the last over against South Africa after being reduced to 38 for 3 while chasing a modest 118 in their opening match.
