It was a happy hunting day for the Pat Cummins-led Australian cricket team in the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka in Lucknow on Monday. After losing their first two matches, Australia desperately needed to get back to winning ways at the Cricket World Cup 2023, and the side did it with supreme perfection. However, there was one moment in the game, when David Warner was left fuming over a LBW decision. The left-handed star batter was visibly displeased by a LBW call from umpire Joel Wilson.

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)
South Africa are making quite a statement at the Cricket World Cup, playing entertaining cricket and plundering tons of runs as they steamroll rival teams. As the Proteas take on the Netherlands in this hilly paradise on Tuesday, the perennial under-performers and 'chokers' have shown in the last two games their determination to go the distance in the tournament. Their 102-run win against Sri Lanka in the opener in New Delhi after putting a record 428/5 on the board, followed by 134-run victory against five-time champions Australia in Lucknow, have made South Africa the team to beat in the competition.
Australia were seen by many as one of the favourites when the 2023 World Cup began but after just two matches, the five-time champions have witnessed their campaign fall apart.
