AUS vs SL, T20 World Cup 2022 LIVE Score and Update
A very important win for Australia, after losing to New Zealand in the second-round opener. They were struggling till one stage in the run-chase, but Glenn Maxwell broke the shackles and then Marcus Stoinis breaks record for the fastest fifty by an Australian in T20Is! Six maximums and Four boundaries for Stoinis in that 18-ball innings as he clobbered 59 runs! Wanindu Hasaranga will have to forget this day as one of his bad days. And Sri Lanka will have to amend their strategies a bit to stay relevant in the tournament. Australia have done a world of good to their NRR as well with 21 balls to spare. But Aaron Finch will want to improve his strike rate as he struggled not only to hit boundaries, but rotate the strike as well.

6.3 Mitchell Marsh has been put down by the Lankan skipper! Marsh went for a slog sweep but missed it completely.

3.5 Sheer pace from Lahiru and a sharp swing. 145 kmph that one, swings sharply into Aaron Finch and he is squared, baffled and has no idea what is happening.

AUS vs SL, T20 World Cup 2022 LIVE Score and Updates
1.3 Four of a wide for Australia. The Optus Stadium pitch has offered some serious movement and the bowlers have paid the price for missing their lines or lengths. We saw a few boundaries of byes in the first innings as well. Now First one for Australia as Lahiru Kumara returns the favour.

18:23 (IST)
AUS vs SL, T20 World Cup 2022 LIVE Score End of innings
So 20 runs from the last over bowled by Pat Cummins and Sri Lanka have something to bowl for against Australia. Excellent effort from Charith Asalanka to keep the runs flowing. Australia were good throughout the innings with their bowling and fielding except for a few exceptions. SL were never allowed to score briskly, and they would have wanted 10 more runs on the scoreboard. However, that 20-run over shall shift the momentum a little bit in their favour. Early wickets and the Lankans will be in the game.
Chase to start in a while.

T20 World Cup Home | Schedule | Results | Points Table | T20 World Cup News | Photos
Defending champions and hosts Australia, who lifted their maiden T20 world title in the UAE last year after hammering New Zealand in the final, suffered a reversal of fortunes in the World Cup opener on Saturday with the Black Caps dishing out a clinical all-round show in an 89-run win.
Sri Lanka, find themselves at the opposite end of the spectrum, having registered their eighth win in nine T20Is with a nine-wicket hammering of Ireland on Sunday. Much like their Asia Cup campaign, Sri Lanka started their journey in the 2022 T20 World Cup with a defeat against Namibia, but went on to beat UAE and Netherlands to finish on top of Group A with the best Net Run Rate (NRR).
Australia face a must-win scenario in the seventh match of the Super 12s stage after their defeat at the hands of the Trans-Tasman rivals. And even a victory might not necessarily put them out of the danger zone — they current have the worst NRR (-4.450) among all the teams in the Super 12s, and will hope to win each of their remaining games by big margins, including the one on Tuesday, if they are to progress into the knockouts.
Venue: Perth Stadium
Time: 4.30 pm IST (7 pm local time).
Squads:
Australia: David Warner, Aaron Finch(c), Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Steven Smith, Ashton Agar, Cameron Green, Kane Richardson.
