SL vs AUS Dream11 prediction 3rd T20I Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score, Stats, Dream11 team

SL vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Australia were in a bit of a pickle in the 2^nd T20I chasing a modest total. They were too lethargic to say the least as their shot selection was erratic and they tried to hit every ball out of the ground for a six which was not feasible against a world class leg spinner in Wanindu Hasaranga who gave his team more than a chance by picking four wickets in the game.

Who will win Sri Lanka vs Australia 3^rd T20I Today Match?

Sri Lanka have now lost 8 games while batting first against Australia.
Aaron Finch looks to have hit some form, and it will be difficult for Sri Lanka to control him if he gets going.
Steve Smith in T20Is is just a waste of a resource. If Sri Lanka can pick early wickets, they can restrict Australia by not dismissing Steve Smith who will take a lot of balls to score a lot lesser runs.
Australia are favourites to win this game in SL vs AUS today match prediction.
