Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan, 2nd ODI, Preview

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan, 2nd ODI, Preview In the second match of the ODI series at Pallekele, Sri Lanka will take on the task of Afghanistan. In the opening game of the series, Afghanistan easily defeated the Lankan squad by a margin of 60 runs. When Afghanistan batted first, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, and Rahmat Shah all contributed to the team's 294-point total. For Sri Lanka, Wanindu Hasaranga was the bowler of choice. 

 

The hosts then failed to form strong partnerships to try to increase the score. Pathum Nissanka, who bats at the top of the order, impressed with his consistency throughout this game. The other batters failed to adequately respond after Hasaranga's valiant effort with the willow, and Lanka was eventually bowled out for 234 runs. It will be a waiting game to see if Sri Lanka can win this game and win the series.
