Finally, Australia gets some challenge on the cricket field - after being undefeated in the World Cup so far, today Australia faces a stern test of resilient Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has a best bowling line up in the world, and their performance in the World Cup so far has proven it but how will they fare against the likes of Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist will decide the outcome of the game.

The only worry for Srilanka is their fast bowler Lasith Malinga, expected to miss the match because of injury. On the other hand, Australia has no such worry. The only change they are likely to make in their eleven from the previous game is the inclusion of Nathan Bracken in place of Stuart Clark. Though, the teams have already secured the semifinal place, yet the match is pivotal for both sides because there is a chance that they meet again in the semifinals.
