Australia and Sri Lanka take each other on as players who had some bitter memories in the past go up against each other. There are a handful of entertaining match-ups to watch as the game is likely going to bring back a lot of memories from past encounters. The likes of Dilshan and Tharanga opening the batting is one of the biggest aspects of bringing back memories as both opened the batting memorably over a decade.
Played- 1 | Australia Legends- 0| Sri Lanka Legends- 1 | Tie- 0
Date: 11th September 2022
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Green Park, Kanpur
The weather is nice and cool during the AUS-L vs SL-L fixture with some dew in the air.
The Kanpur track generally aids seamers a bit. There is a chance of spin too usually but with dew around at this time of the year the pitch is going to be pretty dead and batting is going to be easy. Batting second will be a better option.
TM Dilshan, Upul Tharanga, Sanath Jayasuriya, Asela Gunaratne/ Isuru Udana, Chamara Silva, Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Nuwan Kulasekara, Chaminda Vaas, Dhammika Prasad, Dilruwan Perera
Shane Watson, Alex Doolan, Brad Hodge, Cameron White, Brad Haddin, Callum Ferguson, Brett Lee, John Hastings, Chad Sayers, Jason Krejza, Ben Dunk
Back in the day TM Dilshan was one of the most entertaining cricketers. He is one of those players who revived their careers after thirty and transformed his stats after becoming an opener. He bats, bowls, keeps wickets and can be a very good fielder as well, while being one of the best in Sri Lanka. An underrated talent, Dilshan will be firmly in the spotlight as Sri Lanka’s legends are back on the field.
Shane Watson retired from all forms of the game in 2020 and is an active commentator and analyst now. He didn’t bowl towards the back end of his franchise career and it will be interesting to see if he bowls now. On his day though, there is nobody as explosive as him and it will be interesting to see how he goes.

Australia and Sri Lanka are known for some interesting contests in the past. Both teams have a lot of good players. Sri Lanka’s though look a little better on paper and that should give them a slight edge in this contest.
