Preview
Sri Lanka will be up against the challenge of Afghanistan in the first fixture of the ODI series at Pallekele. The Lankan Lions prevailed over Australia 3-2 in their last ODI series, which was played on their home soil. In this series, they will be without their key players like Danushka Gunathilaka, Dushmantha Chameera and Chamika Karunaratne. The Dasun Shanka-led side will rely on the contributions of Wanindu Hasaranga and Kusal Mendis.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, emerged victorious 3-0 against Zimbabwe in their last ODI series. They will look to continue the same form under the leadership of Hashmatullah Shahidi. The trio of Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be their key players in terms of taking majority of wickets.
