Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka ICC World Cup Preview

The upcoming match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 promises to be an exciting contest, with both teams having two wins and three defeats so far.

With the tournament reaching a critical stage, this match could play a crucial role in determining which team advances to the semi-finals. The game will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, India, with hot and sunny weather expected.

Afghanistan, after their impressive win over Pakistan, is riding high on confidence. The opening pair of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran has been consistent, providing strong starts in recent matches.

Consider a bet on the first-wicket partnership to exceed 29.5 runs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, in particular, has been in great form and could hit over 0.5 sixes in the match.

The teenage leg-spinner Noor Ahmad made a spectacular debut with figures of 3/49 against Pakistan. He adds a spin threat that Sri Lanka’s batsmen will need to handle. Bet on Noor Ahmad to be Afghanistan’s top bowler.

Sri Lanka comes into this match with the momentum of a convincing win over England. Sadeera Samarawickrama played a pivotal role in that victory and is a strong candidate to be Sri Lanka’s top run-scorer.

However, his participation might depend on his fitness, so it’s wise to confirm his availability before placing a bet.

Opener Pathum Nissanka has been in fantastic form, with four consecutive 50+ scores. Angelo Matthews, who contributed with both bat and ball against England, is another player to watch. A small stake in him finishing as Sri Lanka’s top bowler or even as Player of the Match might be a good move.
