Pre-Match Analysis:

Sri Lanka are now in a must-win position to stay alive in the series. Barring half-centuries from opener Pathum Nissanka and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga none of the other batters didn’t make enough contributions with the bat as a result they lost the match by 60 runs. Their run rate was 6.15 at the time when they bowled out at the end of the 38th over. They just need to back their abilities and come back stronger in this match.

Afghanistan scripted a historic win over Sri Lanka in the 1st ODI in a grand fashion. The batters set the tone up in the first half thanks to a century from Ibrahim Zadran and half-centuries from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rahmat Shah. Later the pacers got into the act to bowl out Sri Lanka for 234 runs. They have wicket-takers in their line-up which makes them a complete bowling unit. Gulbadin Naib’s 22 runs with the bat and 3 wickets with the ball turned to out to be a match-winning performance for the visitors. With momentum on their side, they will fancy their chances of wrapping up the series with a game left.
