🏏Asia Cup 2023: M6: SL vs AFG in Lahore on 05/09/2023 at 3PM IST 🏏 - Page 36

Drinks are on the field now. Rajitha removed both the Afghanistan openers. Naib batted with a lot of intent but his innings was cut short by Pathirana. Rahmat Shah is looking in superb touch and has played plenty of eye-pleasing strokes. Afghanistan need 200 runs in 23.1 overs to make it to the Super Fours. They are still alive in this competition

AFG: 93-3 after 15 overs

Maheesh Theekshana [4.0-0-17-0] is back into the attack

15.1 Theekshana to Shahidi, FOUR, top edgeee and it flies over the keeper, comfortably evading the man at short fine leg. Went too fine as Shahidi went for the hard sweep and mistimed

CharithD: "And don't forget Pramod Madhushan, the right-armer.."

Madhuka: "That will be a hard choice to make with what we have in the bag - Chameera, Kasun Rajitha, Matheesha Pathirana, Lahiru kumara, Nuwan Pradeep..." --- Spoilt for choices...

AFG: 101-3 after 16 overs

Problem with a zing bail, they have replaced one.

Kasun Rajitha [4.0-0-27-2] is back into the attack

16.3 Rajitha to Rahmat, FOUR, short of length delivery, Rahmat tries to smash on the rise over cover, thick edge flies over backward point
