Pre-Match Analysis:

Sri Lanka need to give their best shot in this fixture to avoid losing the series. They did well to bowl out Afghanistan for marginal 228 runs in the 2nd ODI however the rain had other plans as they game was called off later. Kasun Rajitha was impressive among the bowlers, picking up 3 wickets. The bowling departments looks settled with a lot of variety however the batters need to step up in the important moments. They are still fighting to secure automatic qualification for ICC World Cup with now only one spot up for grabs.

Rain in came in as a boon for Afghanistan in the 2nd ODI as they booked a ticket directly in to the ICC World Cup which is to be played in India next year. They didn’t recreate the stunning batting performances of 1st ODI in the 2nd as they managed to score 228 runs with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rahmat Shah scoring half-centuries. As a side they are completely revamped over the last few years and can upset top rank sides on their day. They have all the potential to win this series if they play to their strengths.
