Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan

In the previous match, Afghanistan faced a heartbreak, falling short by just four runs in a tense finish. Despite their bowlers' commendable effort in restricting Sri Lanka to 160, their batsmen couldn't capitalize on the opportunity, losing wickets at crucial junctures. However, they showed resilience and will be eager to bounce back strongly in the upcoming game.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will take confidence from their narrow victory and look to build on their momentum. Wanindu Hasaranga's stellar knock of 67 runs played a pivotal role in their triumph, supported by Matheesha Pathirana's impressive bowling performance, earning him the Player of the Match award.

The pitch in Dambulla is expected to offer similar conditions to the previous match, favoring batsmen initially before assisting spinners as the game progresses. Captains winning the toss might opt to bowl first, aiming to capitalize on any early assistance for the bowlers.

For Afghanistan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz's explosive batting at the top order will be crucial in providing a strong start, while they will rely on their bowlers to maintain pressure throughout the innings.

Sri Lanka, led by Hasaranga's all-round prowess, will aim to continue their dominance and secure the series with another win.

As both teams prepare to battle it out once again, fans can expect another thrilling contest between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in the second T20I clash.
