Australia vs Sri Lanka Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023: Bottom-Table Aussies Eye Redemption
Australia vs Sri Lanka Live Cricket Score:Occupying the bottom spot in the 10-team Cricket World Cup 2023, Australia look to bounce back as they take on Sri Lanka at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Pat Cummins' men suffered defeats in their first two matches and are now desperate to bring their campaign back on track. Lankans, on the other hand, are also yet to open their win account in the quadrennial tournament, having lost both of their matches so far. What's surprising from the results of the two teams so far is that Australia are yet to post a score of 200 or more in the tournament. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have gone past 300 comfortably in their first two matches. (LIVE Scorecard)

Mendis' exertions have taken their toll, needing hospital treatment after cramping during his lengthy stint at the crease before Pakistan chased down 344 to beat them in Hyderabad last week.
