Asia Cup 2022: Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Weather Update

After a thrilling finish in the Sri Lanka versus Bangladesh clash, it is now confirmed that the Lankans will join Afghanistan and India in the Super Four of the Asia Cup. In the very first match of the Super Four, Sri Lanka will challenge Afghanistan, a battle that fans saw earlier in the tournament. In the match, Mohammad Nabi-led side defeated the Lankans by 8 wickets to kick-off the tournament. 

Many experts now believe that the Afghanis have the talent to cause an upset in the tournament. They have played some good cricket so far and some even see them as one of the finalists of this year. Even though that’s quite far away, Afghanistan need to start well when they face the Lankans. Bowling has been their strength so far and Rashid Khan along with Mujeeb Ur Rahman will once again be in limelight. There’s enough firepower in the batting order as well but the top order can get better.

Coming to Sri Lanka, their bowling has let them down so far. When it comes to batting, many chipped in against Bangladesh but the team lacks consistency as a batting unit. The captain Dasun Shanaka and Kusal Mendis played really well against Bangladesh but the others need to step up. When it comes to bowling, Wanindu Hasaranga was expected to create a difference but hasn’t been able to do so till now. The other bowlers have also leaked a lot of runs lately and you cannot afford to do so against Afghanistan. Their bowlers are very effective and thus any Lankan bowlers need to be really tight in this match.

Here’s how the weather might be during Sri Lanka versus Afghanistan

After a hot and sunny day, the temperature will cool down at Sharjah when Sri Lanka takes on Afghanistan. It is expected to be 28 degree celsius during the match and there’s no chance of rain. Winds will gust at 28 km/h with 0% cloud cover. Bowling first will be ideal in these conditions and anything above 170 can be considered as a good total.
