SL vs AUS 1st ODI Match Preview:
Australia will play the first ODI of the series in Colombo today after completing the Test series on the Sri Lanka tour. Australia has won the Test series 0-2. This series is going to be very important given the Champion Trophy. Due to Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood getting injured and Marcus Stoinis retiring, a big challenge has arisen for Australia just before the Champion Trophy. The entire responsibility of the team is on Travis Head, Glen Maxwell, and Steven Smith. Australia would like to test its young players in this series. In the last 5 years, 6 matches have been played between the two teams in which both teams have won 3-3 matches.
