Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Former Australia bowler Brendon Julian believes the middle-order not firing is a main problem for the Pat Cummins-led side ahead of their must-win World Cup clash against Sri Lanka at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday afternoon.

Australia has lost their first two 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup matches against India and South Africa in Chennai and Lucknow respectively, putting their plans of progressing to semifinals in jeopardy. As far as their middle-order is concerned, Australia’s batters from four to seven have contributed only 109 runs collectively at an average of 13.6.
