The match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. But the path for Afghanistan is not easy. In fact, Sri Lanka’s goal is to win the game ahead of Afghanistan by 292 runs. At the same time, the Afghan team must reach the target in 37.1 overs or earlier to advance to the Super 4 round. But if the Afghan team wins the game after 37.1 overs, the dream of entering the Super 4 round will be shattered.
On the other hand, regarding Sri Lanka, Dashun Shanaka’s team will try that Afghan team could not reach the goal in 37.1 overs or earlier. In this case, the Sri Lankan team advances to the Super 4 round. Earlier, the Bangladeshi side, led by Group B’s Shakib Al Hasan, had confirmed their place in the Super 4 round. Speaking of Afghanistan-Sri Lanka, after winning the toss and choosing to bat first, Sri Lanka scored 270 runs for 8 wickets in 50 overs. So the target is 271 runs to win the game ahead of Afghanistan. Kusal Mendis scored the most runs for Sri Lanka. Kusal Mendis played an inning for 92 runs and 84 balls.
Let’s say that Afghanistan-Sri Lanka game is the last group game. After that, Super 4 rounds will be played starting September 6th. The final match of this tournament will be played on September 17th. At the same time, alongside India, the Pakistani team from Group A also qualified for the Super 4 round. However, today there is a chance for both teams to reach the Super 4, but the challenge for Afghanistan will not be easy.
