Australia steamrolled Sri Lanka and will be very confident with how they shape up for the next game. Their spinners are doing well and their batting has found form as they look to spoil Karunaratne's farewell.

Key Players

Prabath Jayasuriya

Jayasuriya announced himself when Australia last visited. He spins the ball sharply and can do so at varying paces making him very tough to pick

Smith has returned to form in the BGT with back to back hundreds. He is a key player in the subcontinent with his game against spin among the best and how he goes about the challenge will be fun to watch.
