Lasith Malinga, the fast bowler, will captain Sri Lanka today on his return to the side. The keeper Kusal Perera and batsman Kusal Mendis are the other two who sat out the tour of Pakistan who are playing today. Malinga has the new ball.
There will be a lot of firsts for Steve Smith and David Warner this summer, but this one is simple enough: their first game for Australia at home in any format since their year-long bans after Cape Town 2018. They’re both back in the side. Warner has had a lot of low scores across all formats lately, and needs some confidence, while Smith needs to show that he’s actually in Australia’s best T20 side versus some more powerful strikers. He’s highly versatile, but Test cricket is his forté.
