Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan, Highlights:In a Group B Asia Cup game on Saturday, Afghanistan chose to bowl and dismissed Sri Lanka for only 105. Bhanuka Rajapaksa led Sri Lanka with a score of 38 from just 29 balls, and Chamika Karunaratne added 31.
Afghanistan gets off to a strong start in the 2022 Asia Cup after defeating Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in the opening game. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the wicketkeeper, scored 40 runs, and Hazratullah Zazai hit 37 runs. Only Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Danushka Gunathilaka, and Chamika Karunaratne have previously managed to lead Sri Lanka in double digits. For his squad, Fazalhaq Farooqi grabbed three wickets.
On Saturday, both teams will want to triumph. Under order to provide the best possible lead-up to the World Cup, this year's Asia Cup 2022 is being contested in the T20 format. On September 11th, Sunday, the tournament's championship game will take place. The top six teams from Asia will compete for the trophy, which was coincidentally founded 38 years ago in the UAE, in 13 games from August 27 to September 11 in Dubai and Sharjah.
The second-most successful team in Asia Cup history is Sri Lanka. They have triumphed in the competition five times overall. Since 1986, when Sri Lanka won their first tournament, it has been a joyful hunting field for them.
However, they last won the Asia Cup in 2014, and Dasun Shanaka will serve as their captain this time around as they try to reverse that. The likes of Kusal Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal will also try to use their expertise to win the game for the squad.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, has never won the competition and will be a strong underdog in the 15th iteration of the competition. The team of captain Mohammad Nabi features some outstanding players that are capable of defeating any major opponent.
Afghanistan wins their opening game of the 2022 Asia Cup. From the beginning to the end, they completely controlled the game. A great start for the group under the direction of Mohammad Nabi. Now, they'll try to expand on this success.
Ibrahim Zadran is unfortunate as he is called for 15 yards. Given that Afghanistan is so close to winning right now, his dismissal won't cost them too much.First, the Sri Lankan bowlers may breathe easier. In 40 runs, Rahmanullah Gurbaz leaves the field. The sixth over saw 21 runs scored by Afghanistan. After six overs in a T20I cricket match, they have attained their highest total.
That's All Folks,Gratitude For Reading………
