Sri Lanka were brutally hammered by Afghanistan in their previous meeting by 8 wickets and later pulled off 2 wickets thrilling win over Bangladesh to book a spot in the Super 4. Kusal Mendis made the most of the reprieve he got early on the innings and scored a well-constructed 60 runs and Dasun Shanaka’s captain innings edged past Bangla Tigers. The bowling department looks shaky as they went for plenty of runs in both matches. Charith Asalanka is enduring a lean patch having scored 0 and 1 in the last 2 matches which is a concern for the management. It will be an excellent opportunity to take revenge for their previous loss against the Afghans.

Spinners are doing the majority of the damage for the opposition and played a pivotal role in the overall success. Spin twins Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rahman have picked up 8 wickets between them. The batting looks extremely formidable with the likes of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, and Najibullah Zadran. It will serve as an advantage since they had beaten Sri Lanka in their last meeting.
