Preview
Afghanistan (AFG) will be up against Sri Lanka (SL) in the warm-up match of the World Cup at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on October 3. Afghanistan has not been in good form, losing all their last five matches on a trot. Sri Lanka has been decent so far, winning two of their last five matches and would actually be favourites for this match.
Afghanistan had squared off against Sri Lanka in their last match, where Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. Sri Lanka started well with a good opening partnership of 63 runs. It was followed by a couple of other good partnerships as well. There was a mini-collapse in the middle, but the lower order did a great job as they posted a strong total of 291 runs on the board. Afghanistan lost their openers cheaply, but the middle order was fantastic to put them up in the driving seat. However, they kept losing wickets regularly, which hurt them in the end as they fell short of the target by just two runs and were bowled out.
Sri Lanka squared off against Bangladesh in their last match, where Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. Sri Lanka started off really well, with both their openers looking in good touch and scoring at a rapid pace. Several batters got starts, out of which Nissanka and Dhananjaya could only notch up their fifties as they posted a total of 263. In reply, Bangladesh was even more sensational right from the start as every batter looked to make the most of the situation. They won the match easily by seven wickets.
