Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Team Preview

Sri Lanka

In the Sunday ODI, Sri Lanka displayed an outstanding spirit to return, and they were simply too good for Afghanistan. They must perform at the same level in this game to win the series. 

In preparation for the second ODI, which they must win, Sri Lanka made four changes, leaving out Angelo Mathews, Dushan Hemantha, Matheesha Pathirana, and Lahiru Kumara. For the win, the team recruited Sadeera Samarawickrama, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, and Dushmantha Chameera.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan had several outstanding individual performances in the second ODI, but as a team, they struggled with their batting. Rashid Khan is expected to make a comeback in this game, and the spinner might be very important.

Noor Ahmad, an 18-year-old left-arm spinner, has taken a wicket in each of the series’ first two games, but after giving up 124 runs overall, we anticipate that he will be replaced in this third and final ODI by Rashid Khan.

Afghanistan Tour of Sri Lanka 2023 Cricket Prediction | 3rd ODI: Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan

In the series’ first two games, Sri Lanka batted first. Regardless of who chooses to bat first in this match, we anticipate Afghanistan to field first.

The high temperature will be 32 degrees Celsius with overcast skies.

It is a batting-friendly track with strong bounce that helps pacers in the first innings while allowing spinners to have a say as the game goes on.
