🏏Asia 🏆Cup 2022 Super Four -Match 1 : Sri Lanka v/s Afghanistan 🏏 - Page 11

Not quite the blistering finish that Afghanistan would've hoped for, but they've posted a strong score given the sluggish nature of this pitch. And they've got Rahmanullah Gurbaz to thank for it. That was an exceptional knock of 84 off 45 balls. He got Afghanistan off to a flier in the powerplay, and then kept going while the others battled for timing. Could prove to be the difference between the two teams at the end. We've seen slower balls grip the surface, and it's not easy to slog from a back of a length. Going to be a challenge for Sri Lanka

Jonathan Trott | Afghanistan's head coach: Just to adjust to the conditions, to trust our instincts and play accordingly, that was the message. It's a competitive total, but we need to bowl well. We need to learn from our game against Bangladesh, and we need to execute our plans well. We know that Sri Lanka are a dangerous side.

Sri Lanka should win this easily

SL: 14-0 after 2 overs

My team always loses toss🤔

SL: 31-0 after 4 overs

If SL keep wickets this match would be fun!

Vivek Choubey: Srilanka pulled back at least 15-20 runs in the end. Those last 3 overs were brilliant for them..

If Sri Lanka keeps wickets in hand they can surely win this match. Batting was pathetic from AFG in death overs and it can cost them Match.

Akif Hamzah: Good come back from Sri Lanka to restrict Afghanistan well below 200.
