First Match between Sri Lanka and Australia would be played at R Premdasa stadium Colombo on sun August 21. It will be an enthralling contest however the team batting first would be at a slight advantage. Initially the ball would swing and the players from both sides may look to take the wickets early on. Starc would again prove to be a handful as he can aim directly for the toes of the batsmen during the last over. James Faulkner is another all rounder who can bowl the slower ones and would be quite handy while batting lower down the order.
