SL vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 1, Sri Lanka vs Australia Test series 2025

SL vs AUS Match Preview :
t is time for red-ball action as Sri Lanka will host the reigning World Test Championship holders Australia for a two-match test series. This series is part of the ongoing WTC cycle, but the result won’t have any influence on the final as Australia and South Africa have already secured their places.
The first test between Sri Lanka and Australia will begin on Wednesday morning at 10 AM at the Galle International Stadium.
Australia are coming off a historic 3-1 series win over India. But they have rested some of their key players, and some new faces will get a chance to showcase their skillset. Sri Lanka at home are very strong, and should pose a huge threat to the Aussies.
For Sri Lanka, the challenge is to recollect their dismantled team effort and put up a stronger fight after their crushing defeat. Their batting faltered under pressure, and apart from Jeffrey Vandersay’s spirited fifty, and Dinesh Chandimal’s 72-run knock in the first innings, there were no significant contributions.
The hosts must find a way to counter Australia’s spinners while also ensuring their own bowling attack makes early inroads. With the series on the line, Sri Lanka will be desperate to bounce back and prove they can stand up to the formidable Australian unit.
