LONDON, Friday – At least Sri Lanka should be happy that they will finally get some good weather for their World Cup clash against defending champions Australia at the Kennington Oval here on Saturday even though they know they face a formidable opponent who are peaking at the right time. The forecast is for good weather although mostly cloudy.Sri Lanka are going into this game very much short of match practice – 11 days since they played their last World Cup game against Afghanistan while Australia not affected by bad weather so far have played all their four matches to-date to a finish. It is not so much the Sri Lankan bowling that has been of concern but their brittle middle order batting where players in the calibre of Kusal Mendis and Angelo Mathews have yet to put runs on the board against their names.
