Preview:
Afghanistan will face Sri Lanka in the Group 1 contest of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Tuesday. Afghanistan will be utterly disappointed as their previous two matches were abandoned due to rain. They lost to England in their opening game by 5 wickets. Now they are under immense pressure to win their remaining two matches to stay alive in the contest. They have a 1-1 win-loss record against Sri Lanka this year and will fancy their chances of winning this match. They still positioned themselves at the bottom of the Group 1 standings with 2 points.
Sri Lanka on the other hand hasn’t played to their fullest potential in the Super 12 stage as they lost their previous two matches against Australia and New Zealand convincingly. They started off well with a win over Ireland and struggled to carry the same form in the following games. Barring Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Dasun Shanaka other batters perished for single digits against New Zealand. Wanindu Hasaranga who was taken for cleaners against Australia returned to form with an economical spell of 1 for 22 against New Zealand. Kasun Rajitha who played his first game of the tournament returned with the figures of 2 for 23. They sit in the 5th spot in the Group 1 standings with 2 points.
