SL vs AUS 4th ODI Match Preview:-
Match: SL vs AUS ODI Match Prediction
Time: 21 Jun, 02:30 PM (IST)
Series: 4th ODI Match
Venue: R. Premadasa Stadium – Colombo, Sri Lanka
Info:
Pathum Nissanka struck his first ODI century in Sunday’s victory and the opener is a strong choice for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer in this match. Wanindu Hasaranga has recovered from injury and we expect him to be the home sides’ top wicket taker in the fourth ODI.
Skipper Aaron Finch struck 62 runs in the third ODI and he is our pick for Australia’s highest run scorer at the same venue on Tuesday. With the ball, Pat Cummins was rested in Sunday’s defeat and he is well worth backing as Australia’s top wicket taker in this game.
Aaron Finch has been more impressive than his opening partner David Warner so far in the series. We predict that the Australian skipper will out score Warner again in this ODI.
Live Streaming:
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Star Sports in India, Sky Sports in the UK, Fox Cricket in Australia and Siyatha TV in Sri Lanka.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
Sunday’s ODI was the first of the series to not feature any rain interruptions. However, we may not escape rain on Tuesday across a hot and humid afternoon and evening.
🏟️ Pitch:
Although there were wickets for the spinners and the pitch turned on Sunday, once batters got in it was a good surface for accumulating runs. We predict a par score of 300 in this match.
Toss Prediction:
Australia won the toss and opted to bat first in Colombo on Sunday. Although Sri Lanka was able to chase down a tough target, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this ODI.

Team News:
SL Team News:
We expect to see bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga return to the XI in this ODI with Dunith Wellalage our prediction for the player to be left out. Danushka Gunathilaka missed out on Sunday with a hamstring strain and we expect him to be unavailable for this game with Niroshan Dickwella retaining his place in the team.
AUS Team News:
It has been a series and a tour full of injuries for Australia so far. Ahead of Sunday’s ODI, Steve Smith joined Mitchell Starc and Ashton Agar on the sidelines with a quad strain. Glenn Maxwell picked up a glute strain during Sunday’s game but we expect him to take the field in this match.

Winning Chances:
Who will win today’s match: SL vs AUS ODI Match Fantasy Team
This should be another watchable game in a series that has captured the attention of the cricket world over the last week. A win for Sri Lanka will see them wrap up the series but we are backing Australia to bounce back and level the series with a victory in this match.
Final Verdict
Australia are favorites to beat Sri Lanka
SL Key Players:
Kusal Mendis:
Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer in the series had to retire hurt with a hamstring injury on Sunday. He had scored 87 from 85 balls and we expect him to be available to continue his impressive form in this ODI.
Pathum Nissanka:
The young Sri Lankan opener has scored a century and a fifty in this series so far. He hit two sixes in his innings on Sunday.
Wanindu Hasaranga:
The bowling all-rounder is an integral part of the side and even when out with an injury was seen advising young spinners in the dressing room. He has 99 international wickets to his name.
AUS Key Players:
Aaron Finch:
The Australian skipper struck four fours and one six in his knock on Sunday. It was his 30th half-century in this format.
Glenn Maxwell:
The all-rounder hit 33 runs from 18 balls in the third ODI and had the highest strike-rate across both sides. He also dismissed Sri Lanka opener Niroshan Dickwella.
Pat Cummins:
After being rested for Sunday’s defeat the Test captain should be well refreshed ahead of this ODI. He has taken 105 ODI wickets.
Team Forms:
SL Team Forms:
Sri Lanka have won seven of their last ten games and three of their last four in this format. With Wanindu Hasaranga returning to their XI they should be even stronger in this ODI.
AUS Team Forms:
Australia have won only one of their last five games in this format. Although they thought they were ahead in the game at the halfway stage on Sunday, they were not good enough with bat or ball
