Top 5 batting teams away from home in last 5 years

#4 Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka just edge ahead of England with an away average of 31.41. That average is getting hurt thanks to their ongoing tour of South Africa, where they have suffered two massive losses.

Sri Lanka have won 4 and lost 11 of the 18 Tests away from home. However, we put them over England because their average will take a big bump if we add their performance in UAE where they average 41.13 in 3 Tests, winning 1 and losing 1.

That pushes their net average over England while playing away from home. At home, Sri Lanka average only 32.06, almost same as their away average. That is why their W/L ratio isn’t so impressive at 1.857, after winnings 13 and losing 7 of their 24 Tests at home.
