Cricket: Australia vs Sri Lanka - Twenty20 International & ODI series

[kevshat]

Australia's big international summer begins this weekend as they look to take on Sri Lanka in a twenty20 international which is followed by a 3 match ODI series as the build up to the Ashes starts to take off. Should be a competitive series which we've not had since England vs Pakistan and all 4 matches are live on Sky so there should be decent enough betting potential. Schedule:

Re: Cricket: Australia vs Sri Lanka - Twenty20 International & ODI series Ok let's get this show on the road. One for the twenty20. 5pts Australia Most 6's 21/20 Skybet I like Australia in this market. Conditions suit them a lot more than they will Sri Lanka but not only that, I've looked through this Sri Lanka squad and other than Angelo Mathews there isn't a natural 6 hitter among them. Australia have a fair few in Watson, Warner, White and Hussey and even Haddin and Smith can give it a bit of a biff. Then throw into the equation that the likes of Nannes and Siddle aren't going to be easy to get away and while Malinga and Murali will be tough, Sri Lanka will have 3 bowlers who aren't as difficult. These two have met in 3 previous twenty20 internationals. Australia won the 1st 2-1 in 6's, the 2nd ended 7-4 to Australia and the 3rd was 7-2 in Australia's favour. I don't see any reason why that'll be any different here so I'm firmly on the Aussies to hit the most 6's in this twenty20 clash.
