The SL vs AFG series continues with the three-match T20I series after the end of the ODI series. The first t20I will be played in Dambulla from 7 pm IST. The venue will host all three games. Afghanistan were clean-swept in the ODI series by Sri Lanka who dominated the visitors.

Pathum Nissanka headlined the ODI series, scoring 346 runs in the series with a double-century and a century. He scored a double century in the first ODI followed by a century in the third.

Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi scored centuries in the first ODI and then Afghanistan’s batting dipped well below par. The openers Rahmaullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran could not make the most of the good batting conditions in Sri Lanka.

They scored 339/6 in the first ODI in response to Sri Lanka’s 381. They were bowled out for 153 in the second ODI and their score of 266 was not enough in the third ODI.

The format now changes as the SL vs AFG series continues as does the leadership for Sri Lanka. Ibrahim Zadran will continue to be the stand-in captain for Afghanistan while Wanindu Hasaranga will lead Sri Lanka in the T20I series. He won his first T20I series against Zimbabwe as captain recently.

After a fairly one-sided Test match, the ODI series was expected to be closely fought. However, Sri Lanka were well and truly the superior team. The Afghans now have a chance to hit them back in the T20I series.

Afghanistan won four matches in the ICC World Cup 2023. One of their wins came against Sri Lanka. Their performance in the World Cup also guaranteed them their first-ever ICC Champions Trophy qualification next year in Pakistan.

Sri Lanka will be led by Hasaranga as said earlier. He has been playing a lot of T20I cricket in the recent past. He played for the Desert Vipers in the ILT20 and has continued the good bowling form. He took a seven-wicket haul in the third ODI against Zimbabwe and took four in the two ODI games that he played against the Afghans.

Afghanistan played their last ODI match in the World Cup where they finished sixth on the table with four wins in nine matches. They next played a T20I series against India, losing 3-0. However, they gained a rich experience of playing against India in India.
