Sri Lanka will face the challenge of Afghanistan in the second game of the ODI series at Pallekele. The first fixture of the series witnessed Afghanistan securing a resounding 60-run victory over the Lankan team. Batting first, the contributions of Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rahmat Shah helped Afghanistan to post 294 on the board. Wanindu Hasaranga was the pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka.

The hosts then could not string quality partnerships to chase down the score. At the top order, Pathum Nissanka was impressive with his consistency in this game. Then, Hasaranga tried well with the willow, but the other batters could not respond well, and Lanka was bundled out for 234. It will be a waiting game to see if Sri Lanka manages to save the series by winning this game.
