Hello, How are you all doing today? Today we have another fascinating contest ahead of us at at Zhejiang University of Technology Pingfeng Cricket Field. The action continues in Hangzhou, where we have the third quarterfinal between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. I am Rvel Zahid, and I'll bring you all the action

Both sides have earned direct qualification for the knockouts by virtue of being the top-ranked teams in Asia, and they will be eyeing a semifinal spot in today's high-octane clash

Afghanistan have got several of their top-flight players in their ranks for this game, including hard-hitting wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Shahzad, bowling all-rounder Gulbadin Naib, Karim Jannat, Qais Ahmad, and Fareeh Ahmad, so we can expect nothing short of a power-packed performance from them. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have given an opportunity to top-performing domestic talent, including Shevon Daniel, who is considered a rising star. They will be led into action by Sahan Arachchige in this game.

In yesterday's second quarterfinal encounter between Pakistan and Hong Kong, we witnessed tricky batting conditions as Pakistan suffered an early collapse. However, a rearguard action by Asif Ali, Arafat Minhas, and later on, a quickfire 41 from Aamer Jamal bailed them out of trouble and got them to a respectable score of 160, which proved rather overwhelming for Hong Kong, who were bowled out for 92. There was pace, sharp turn, and fierce bounce, making it a stern test for the batters out there. Expect more of the same today, as these two teams, like the rest, will take a little bit of time to get used to the conditions.
