Australia are in a prime position to win a fifth Test series in Sri Lanka, while the hosts are struggling to field a playing XI with COVID-19 outbreak which exacerbated their plight following a ten-wicket defeat in the first match, an encounter that lasted less than three days. That's the short premise of the SL vs AUS, 2nd Test starting Friday in Galle. The match will be telecast live. Also, follow live scores HERE and ball-by-ball commentary HERE.

On the eve of the match, Sri Lanka revealed that as many as four players have tested positive for COVID-19. And skipper Dimuth Karunaratne expressed his fears that more players will be withdrawn. Meaning, there will be a lot of new faces donning whites when they assembled for the national anthem Friday morning. In contrast, Australia are toying with the idea of having explosive Glenn Maxwell as the replacement for Mitchell Starc.

Australia sure start favourites. They dismissed Sri Lanka for 212, the scored 321 in reply. Sri Lanka collapsed to 113 all out in the second innings, and chased down the target (all of five) in four balls, with David warner hitting a four and a six. Such a dramatic finish is very unlikely, but the visitors will hope for another quick work and complete back-to-back Test series wins in Asia. They beat Pakistan 1-0 in a three-match series earlier this year.

The winners of the Sri Lanka vs Australia Test series will take the Warne-Muralitharan Trophy.
