On the other hand, Australia has kept their playing XI unchanged.

As the teams prepared for this crucial encounter, Australia found themselves at the bottom of the points table after enduring two challenging defeats. Despite being winless, Sri Lanka holds a slightly higher rank due to a superior run rate.
Australia enters the match on the back of a tough 134-run defeat against South Africa and a previous six-wicket loss to India. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka faced a high-scoring battle against South Africa, resulting in a 102-run loss. In their second match, Pakistan successfully chased down a formidable 345 against them.
