Sri Lanka’s two-match ODI series against Australia, aiming to recover from a 2-0 Test series whitewash at home. Pathum Nissanka, Kamindu Mendis, and Kusal Mendis return to the white-ball side, while Charith Asalanka continues as captain after historic ODI successes, including Sri Lanka’s first series win over India in 27 years in 2024.
Both ODIs will be held at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on February 12 and 14. Australia, eyeing another ICC Champions Trophy title, last won the tournament in 2009 but struggled in the 2013 and 2017 editions.
In the past four years, they have claimed the T20 World Cup (2021), World Test Championship (2023), and ODI World Cup (2023). A Champions Trophy win in 2025 would complete their ICC grand slam. However, injuries pose a challenge as they prepare for the marquee event.
