Australia out to build T20 momentum in Sri Lanka

The first two matches will be played in the Sri Lankan capital on 7 and 8 June, with the series then moving to Galle for the third and final match on 11 June.

The two teams will be relatively familiar with each other having played a five-match series on Australian soil at the start of the year and that series showed there is little between the two sides.

While Australia claimed the series 4-1 on that occasion, all matches were closely-fought and another tight series is expected this time around.

Hosts Sri Lanka will be hoping to get big performances from star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga after he took 26 wickets at the recent IPL, while the likes of Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis and skipper Dasun Shanaka will be relied upon to provide the bulk of the runs.

Many eyes will be on Australia captain Aaron Finch, just to see if he can find some of his best form prior to his side's T20 World Cup defence on home soil later this year.

Finch struggled during the IPL and will be hoping a reunion with fellow veteran David Warner at the top of the Australian batting order will help him regain his touch.

All-rounder Mitch Marsh will continue to bat at number three for Australia, with Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith and Marcus Stoinis to make up the remainder of the batting order.

Experienced spinner Adam Zampa will miss the tour as he remains in Australia for the birth of his child. In his absence, left-armer Ashton Agar will lead Australia's spin department with some help from the likes of Mitchell Swepson and Maxwell.
