Australia vs Sri Lanka on ESPN, Fox Sports



Australia and Sri Lanka are both to take on each other in one of the much awaited match of the World Cup Cricket.

Australia has won their 2 matches they played so far while Sri Lanka lost the important match against Pakistan. So it will be an important match for Sri Lanka to win to stay on the top in group A.

For Australia it is very important that their skipper Ricky Ponting return among the runs. They will depend upon their batsman Shane Watson, Michael Clarke, David Hussey and Cameron White to put up a good score for Lankan to chase or they play sensibly if they bat second. Their fast bowlers are expected to get some assist from the wicket.
