Sri Lanka vs Australia 1st Test 2022: SL vs AUS Head-to-Head Records

High-flying Sri Lanka will lock horns with injury-hit Australia in the first Test at the Galle International Stadium from 29 June. Australia started their tour by bagging the T20 International series. Sri Lanka however, fought back in the ODIs, winning the five-match series 3-2. The Islanders are coming off a confident win against Bangladesh in their previous red-ball encounter. Meanwhile, Australia’s last Test outing, against Pakistan in their backyard, ended on a positive note and they will hope to carry the momentum over to this series. The experience of playing in the subcontinent conditions will help the men in yellow to play in the slow and tricky track of Galle. Both squads will aim to bring out the best of themselves as the series is part of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle. While Australia is standing at the top of the tally, Sri Lanka is now placed at the fourth position. A win over the mighty Aussies who have not lost a single Test during the current cycle, will not only take them higher in the standing but also boost their confidence for the upcoming fixtures.
