Match Preview

This Group B encounter is crucial for both teams, as they compete for a top-two spot alongside Bangladesh and Hong Kong to advance to the Super 4s. With Afghanistan’s spin-heavy attack and Sri Lanka’s all-round capabilities, this contest is going to be nail-biting.

In their last T20I match during the 2022 Asia Cup, Sri Lanka secured a victory by four wickets. Expect a closely contested match, with dew likely to favor the team batting second. A score of 160 or more could be defendable if the spinners excel. Afghanistan’s chance for an upset will heavily depend on taking early wickets and making a fast start.

Following the conflict over handshaking during the match between Pakistan and India, Pakistan refused to play in the ongoing matches until the removal of the umpire, who had prohibited the captains from shaking hands after the game concluded.

The match between Pakistan and the UAE started late due to this dramatic situation, as the umpire requested forgiveness. Eventually, Pakistan agreed to proceed with the tournament. During the tenth match of the tournament between Pakistan vs UAE, Pakistan won against the UAE in a crucial game, claiming victory by 41 runs, which confirmed both Pakistan and India a spot in the Super 4 stage.
