Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka, 30th Match - Live Cricket Score

"Quite happy and proud of the team. Happy for the way we performed in all 3 departments. Last game gave us lot of confidence and belief that we can chase any kind of target. It was a very professional performance from the bowlers today. All the coaching and managing staff are working hard and giving us confidence. Especially Jonathan (Trott) he is always positive, before Pakistan game he told me one word and that changed my mindset a lot. As a captain you should lead from the front and that's what I am trying to do, I will try to maintain that in the rest of the tournament. Rashid Khan is a special player and the best player in the world. He (Rashid Khan) is a very energetic guy and always keeps the team very lively. I want to congratulate all the Afghanistan supporters and especially want to thank the Indian fans for coming out and supporting us," Shahidi said.

Thank you for joining us. See you for another classic encounter tomorrow. Goodnight!

"We didn't do enough with the bat. 300 or maybe 280 would have been sufficient, but not to be. Bowlers have done well in the first 10 overs and the dew has come in little bit and then it became a little hard to bowl the spinners. Actually there was dew today and the ball came on to the bat nicely in the second innings. He (Madushanka) has done really well, in the first couple of games as well and hope he will continue his form going forward," Mendis said.

"Thanks to the Almighty, nice to have 3 wins in the tournament, happy to have contributed to the team win. I was looking for swing with the new ball, but I didn't get it, so I just kept it simple, hit the right areas, didn't want to concede boundaries and that's how I succeeded. We conceded too many runs in the last few overs (in the previous matches), we put in the hard yards in the nets, bowling with accuracy and trying out as many variations as possible. That's exactly what we went out and did in the match today (translated by Rashid Khan)," Fazalhaq said.

Massive win for Afghanistan as they moved to seventh on the points table. Never before they won two games in a row in the tournament and hence, it's a new milestone in their cricketing history!

Eight runs came off that over as Afghanistan just need two more runs to win the match.

Afghanistan are 232/3 after 44 overs.

Excellent 50 from Azmatullah Omarzai after Hashmatullah Shahidi.#SLVSAFG #SLvAFG #AFGvsL #AFGvsSL #Omarzai #CWC23 #Cricket pic.twitter.com/Q8UgIYv9sB

Nine runs off the over as Afghanistan are 223/3 after 43 overs.

Terrific knock from Azmatuallh Omarzai. First he did his bit with the bowl and now contributed heavily with the bat. Sensational!

Afghanistan are 214/3 after 42 overs. Afghanistan need 28 runs to win.

Hashmat completes his 50 and well-deserved captain's knock.#CWC23 #CWC2023 #AFGvsSL #AFGvSL #SLvsAFG #SLvAFG #Pune #MCAStadium pic.twitter.com/TowQRjKBe4
