The 30th match of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 was held at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, where Afghanistan and Sri Lanka faced off. Afghanistan won the toss and elected to field first.

Fazalhaq Farooqi dismissed Dimuth Karunaratne to give Sri Lanka their first blow. Then Pathum Nissanka and captain Kusal Mendis stitched a good partnership for the second wicket and tried to stabilise the innings, but Azmatullah Omarzai got the better of Nissanka for 46. Then came in Sadeera Samarawickrama to bat with the captain, Mendis, and they both added 50 runs for the third wicket. 

However, quick wickets fell in the middle overs as Mujeeb Ur Rahman dismissed Mendis and Samarawickrama. Sri Lanka struggled to rebuild after losing key batters, and Rashid Khan dismissed the all-rounder, Dhananjaya de Silva. Angelo Matthews came in at No. 7 but couldn't make a significant contribution. Sri Lanka's innings ended at 241 in 49.3 overs, with Farooqi taking four wickets and Mujeeb taking two wickets for Afghanistan.

Chasing the target, Afghanistan had a very bad start as in-form batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz was dismissed in the very first over courtesy of a brilliant in-swinging delivery by Dilshan Madhushanka. But then Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah came together and stitched a good partnership for the second wicket, adding 73 runs. However, Zadran was dismissed while attempting an uppercut, offering a simple catch towards third man.

Rahmat Shah looked good from the other end and scored a solid fifty, reaching 62 off 74 balls. Then, captain Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai came together and formed a strong partnership for the fourth wicket, helping their team comfortably win the game by seven wickets in the end. Shahidi scored 58 not out, while Azmatullah remained unbeaten on 73.
