In the last T20I at this venue, Australia beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets at the T20 World Cup. The Islanders scored 157/6 on a bouncy wicket in Perth. Chasing 158 for a win, Australia got off to a slow start but Marcus Stoinis' whirlwind knock of 59 runs from 18 balls powered the Aussies to a seven-wicket win.
12 sixes were smashed by the batters in the two innings of the Australia vs Sri Lanka match. A total of nine wickets fell in 36.3 overs, with pacers bagging four of them.
Perth has hosted two matches in T20 World Cup 2022, and both have been won by the chasing team. It should not be a surprise if the captain winning the toss opts to field first tomorrow.
