T20 World Cup 2021: Australia ready for Sri Lanka clash, says Matthew Wade

Australia Wicketkeeper-Batter Matthew Wade feels his team can win their fixture with Sri Lanka but knows that it will not be easy as in the World Cup it's always the best vs best.

Dubai UAE: Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has revealed that his side must win the spin battle against Sri Lanka if they want to make it two wins from two in the Super 12s of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Wade and Marcus Stoinis put on 40 in 26 balls to guide Australia to a five-wicket victory over South Africa in their opening game of the ICC Men's World T20 2021 and next up for Justin Langer's men in Group 1 is a Sri Lanka side who chased down 172 to beat Bangladesh and will come armed with several spinners at the Dubai International Stadium in the UAE.

"I think every game in this tournament is going to be hard work. As we're seeing throughout the tournament, every team in the competition on their day are going to be hard to beat, so Sri Lanka is certainly no different. They have had a few more games leading in than what we have as well," said Wade in an official ICC release.
