SL vs AUS: Match Preview:

Sri Lanka defeated Australia in the 2nd ODI, courtesy of an all-around performance from Chamika Karunaratne as the hosts emerged victorious via the D/L method in a rain-affected match. The mighty Australian team fell hard after losing their last 5 wickets for just 19 runs, losing the match by 26 runs.

The visitors, and the Australian team would be thinking about forming a plan to take on the Lankan spinners as they have continued giving away their wickets without a decent scoring rate. 

The hosts, on the other hand, are having trouble with their batting order. Even though the batters have managed to get a good start, none of the Lankan batters managed to score big in the second ODI. Sri Lanka would have to massively work on their batting unit if they want to stand a chance in the 5-match ODI series.
