Now the pressure on the hosts continues in the shortest format of the game in the two-match T20I series starting in Pallekele. With the Tests going the hosts way (unexpectedly), the ODI's the way of the visitors, the outcome of this series will be found in T20I series – unless it finishes 1-1 ofcourse.

First up, early team news where Aaron Finch and Chris Lynn are not part of the Australian squad with injuries. For Sri Lanka, seamer Kasun Rajitha headlines the side in a relatively experienced T20 squad.
