The Sri Lankans didn\u2019t cross paths with Australia on the journey, but their qualities have been observed from afar, and in the shorter white-ball format.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there’s a beauty in the unknown at times. The last time we played them was in the T20 World Cup last year, and it’s a similar side,\u201d Opposition batter Phoebe Litchfield detailed at Australia\u2019s press conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe beauty of a (Cricket) World Cup is you play every different side and you have to prepare. You don’t really get time to learn. You’ve got to come out firing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think their opening bowlers pose a threat, but I think their spin attack is where their work gets done and they’ve got four spinners that are completely different to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it spins, that’ll probably be the biggest threat to us and being able to adapt and play spin really well because most of the middle overs is spin.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sri Lankans didn\u2019t cross paths with Australia on the journey, but their qualities have been observed from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179975,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,67813,67811,67817,67827,67823,67826,67824,16326,67825,67822,67828,67834,67833,67814,6518,67832,67816,67815,67810,67820,67821,67830,101,67829,67831,67819,67812,67818,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-179974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-breaking-news","tag-cricket-headlines-today","tag-cricket-live-score","tag-cricket-match-highlights-today","tag-cricket-match-live-streaming-score","tag-cricket-match-result-today","tag-cricket-match-today-live","tag-cricket-news","tag-cricket-results-today","tag-cricket-scorecard-live","tag-cricket-series-updates","tag-cricket-world-cup-live-score","tag-cricket-world-cup-news","tag-cricket-world-news","tag-icc","tag-icc-cricket-updates","tag-international-cricket-live-score","tag-international-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-scores","tag-live-cricket-match-update","tag-odi-cricket-live-score","tag-sports","tag-t20-cricket-live-score","tag-test-cricket-live-score","tag-today-cricket-live-score","tag-today-cricket-news-update","tag-todays-cricket-match-score","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
