TOSS: Asghar Stanikzai has won the toss and has elected to bat first.

Sri Lanka will hope to regain their momentum back when they take on Afghanistan at Kolkata.

Afghanistan team, on the other hand, is on a roll and have advanced to the Super 10 stage remaining unbeaten in the qualifiers. The defending will obviously not take Afghanistan lightly. The rising Asian country has some exciting talent and can pull out a stunner if the Lankans don’t manage to give their best performance.

The Lankan Lions are troubled with players form and injuries. They also had a very bad always series against India and carries the same form in the Asia Cup which was a forgettable one for them. But, they would certainly want to put all those things behind them by giving a winning start to their title defense.
