Check out how to watch Australia v Sri Lanka in the Cricket World Cup 2023, including TV and radio coverage, UK time and our key player to watch.
Either Australia or Sri Lanka will gain their first win of the competition as the two winless teams face each other in Lucknow, whilst the loser will be all but out of semi-final contention.
It’s been a miserable start to the World Cup for both teams, but in particular Australia who were considered as potential favourites to take home the World Cup in the build-up to the competition.
The tide of opinion has turned quickly, however, as after two defeats in two matches against India and South Africa, there is a growing sense that Australia are a team fatigued at a time they should be peaking.
This year, they have already had a Test tour of India, followed by the World Test Championship final and then The Ashes, meaning many of their star players have hardly had a night in their own bed for the past six months.
Sri Lanka have also lost both their opening fixtures, succumbing to two phenomenal batting displays from South Africa and Pakistan who each set World Cup records. South Africa, for the highest ever total scored at a World Cup (428), and Pakistan, the highest ever chase in a World Cup (345). In other words, it might be time for Sri Lanka’s bowlers to have a little get together.

Australia v Sri Lanka key player to watch
Mitchell Marsh (Australia)
Mitchell Marsh has had a quiet start to the tournament with scores of 7 and 0 and is currently opening the batting in the absence of the injured Travis Head.
With Sri Lanka’s bowling low on confidence, the chance for the Aussies to reverse their fortunes rest on the attack being taken to them from the very beginning.
