SL vs AFG Score Updates, Asia Cup 2022: Afghanistan openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai are off to a flying start against Sri Lanka in an Asia Cup Super 4 match at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium. Afghanistan got a massive reprieve after Rahmanullah was caught in the third over, but the replay showed that the fielder’s boot was touching the boundary rope. Both teams met earlier during the Group stage and it was Afghanistan who ran riot with an eight-wicket win. Afghanistan have been the team to beat so far, after comfortably winning both of their games. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had to stage an epic chase to knock out Bangladesh, and book their place in the Super 4. Afghanistan have a slight edge, heading into this fixture, but winning the toss would be key for either teams. (LIVE SCORECARD)
