Sri Lanka will face Australia in the 2nd ODI of the Australia tour of Sri Lanka, 2025 on 14 February 2025 at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the SL vs AUS match.
Match Preview
The second ODI between Sri Lanka and Australia is set to take place on February 14 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Sri Lanka enters the match with confidence after securing a 49-run victory in the first ODI. Despite a shaky start, Charith Asalanka’s century guided the hosts to a competitive total, while their spinners played a crucial role in dismantling the Australian batting lineup. With home conditions favoring spin, Sri Lanka will look to replicate their dominant performance and seal the series.
Australia, on the other hand, will be eager to bounce back and level the series. Their batting unit, led by Steve Smith, showed glimpses of promise but struggled against Sri Lanka’s spinners. Injury concerns continue to trouble their pace attack, adding further challenges for the visitors. To secure a win, Australia will need a stronger effort from their middle order and a more disciplined approach against spin bowling.
With Sri Lanka’s home advantage, superior spin attack, and Australia’s injury woes, the prediction slightly favors the hosts. However, Australia’s batting firepower could still turn the game in their favor, making it an exciting contest to watch.

Pitch Report
The pitch at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is known to favor spinners, making it a challenging venue for batters as the game progresses. With an average first-innings score of 239 runs, teams often look to post a competitive total before spinners take control. The surface tends to be slow, offering significant turn, which benefits bowlers who can exploit the conditions. Pacers might find some movement with the new ball but generally have a limited impact. Given the pitch’s tendency to deteriorate, teams winning the toss usually opt to bat first, aiming to put runs on the board before the surface becomes tougher for stroke play.
