David Warner: David Warner is among the most popular captaincy options for this game. Warner is a quality batter, and his record against Sri Lanka is also decent. Warner is known to pounce on the weaker bowling teams, and Sri Lanka hasn’t bowled well at all this tournament.
Glenn Maxwell: Glenn Maxwell is a safe captaincy option for this game. He will contribute to all the departments, and his record against Sri Lanka is also pretty good. Expect Maxwell to make a significant impact in this game.
Kusal Mendis: Kusal Mendis is also among the popular captaincy options in this game. Mendis has been in sublime form, and his overall numbers against Australia are also marvellous.
Marcus Stoinis: Marcus Stoinis has surprisingly been picked up by less than 19% of users as of now, making him a good differential pick. Stoinis will bowl a few overs and dismiss Sri Lankan batters with his accurate lines and lengths. He can also contribute with the bat in the lower order.
Dhananjaya de Silva: Dhananjaya de Silva has been selected by less than 38% of users as of now. Dhananjaya can contribute to all the departments and fetch a few crucial points.
Josh Inglis: Josh Inglis might not make much impact and can be avoided for this game.
If AUS bat first:
Complete the team with three among Pathum Nissanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Marcus Stoinis and Josh Hazlewood.
