Cricket Prediction | Afghanistan vs South Africa | 2nd ODI | Sept 20 – Will AFG Maintain Their Winning Momentum?
AFG vs SA Match Analysis The 2nd ODI between Afghanistan and South Africa is set to take place in Sharjah on September 20, 2024,
At Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla on Saturday, the opening Twenty20 International of the three-match series between Afghanistan and host Sri Lanka will take place.
Being a formidable team in white-ball cricket, the hosts Sri Lanka will start the series as clear favorites over Afghanistan. In this three-match T20I series, newly chosen captain Wanindu Hasaranga will be hopeful that the team can control the proceedings.
Afghanistan will go into the next Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka with little confidence, having just lost an ODI series to a whitewash. In this three-match T20I series, captain Ibrahim Zadran will be aiming for a turnaround in his fortunes.
For the first match of the T20I series, which will be played at Dambulla, the home team is anticipated to field a complete squad. The hosts will be depending on players like Charith Asalanka, Dasun Shanaka, wicketkeeper-batter Sadeera Samarawickrama, explosive Kusal Perera, skipper Kusal Mendis, and Pathum Nissanka to produce most of the runs in the batting department.
Charith Asalanka is the best scorer for Sri Lanka in the Twenty20 Format, having amassed 179 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 140.94. In terms of bowling, it will be up to pacers Dilshan Madushanka, Matheesha Pathirana, and Nuwan Thushara, as well as the spin combo of Mahesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga, to make significant strides.

It will be up to bowlers like Mohammad Nabi, Naveen Ul Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Noor Ahmad, and Fareed Ahmad Malik to make timely breakthroughs.
