Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka commences with the first of three Twenty 20 matches. Join The Roar for live scores from 11:30pm AEST.
When Twenty20 cricket first arrived the Australian team treated it as a bit of hit and giggle. The Aussies played catch up for a long time to get back on par with international sides but now Australia is the top of the pile after winning last year’s World Cup. They get to defend their title later this year on home soil and this is where the campaign starts with three matches to test themselves against Sri Lanka.
Captain Aaron Finch had all the pressure on his shoulders in Pakistan but he managed a half-century in Lahore and he’ll hope that innings turns his fortunes around after going 13 innings without a 50 prior to that.
He’s also indicated a much more aggressive gameplan for at least some of his players with Steve Smith given a license to slog from ball one.
Smith was sensationally overlooked for a T20 contract in the IPL and while he’s much more suited to accumulation in the longer formats his funky strokeplay is not to be messed with.
“I‘m pretty excited that tag’s been taken off, to be honest with you,” Smith told cricket.com.au.
“Diva (stand-in coach Michael di Venuto) actually told me the other day … he said ‘we’re getting rid of that tag, that’s gone. Just go out and play freely. If you want to smack your first or second ball for six, go for it’.
“And I’m like, ‘yeah, that’s cool’.
Kane Richardson is the other one to watch this series after he replaced Pat Cummins who is resting for the rest of the Tour.
