Australia will continue missing Travis Head and skipper Pat Cummins addressed the importance of winning against Sri Lanka. The Aussie captain said, "Not an ideal start at all. Everyone's desperate to turn it around. We're obviously 0-2, so we've got to start winning and start winning quick. Every game now becomes almost like a final. You've got to win just about all of them."

Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka has been ruled out of the World Cup 2023 and Chamika Karunaratne has replaced him. There will be a replacement coming in for Shanaka in the starting lineup and Karunaratne may be the one again claiming the slot. Kusal Mendis will captain the side in the absence of Shanaka.
