Preview
Afghanistan (AFG) will be up against Sri Lanka (SL) in the warm-up match of the World Cup at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on October 3. Afghanistan has not been in good form, losing all their last five matches on a trot. Sri Lanka has been decent so far, winning two of their last five matches and would actually be favourites for this match.
Afghanistan had squared off against Sri Lanka in their last match, where Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. Sri Lanka started well with a good opening partnership of 63 runs. It was followed by a couple of other good partnerships as well. There was a mini-collapse in the middle, but the lower order did a great job as they posted a strong total of 291 runs on the board. Afghanistan lost their openers cheaply, but the middle order was fantastic to put them up in the driving seat. However, they kept losing wickets regularly, which hurt them in the end as they fell short of the target by just two runs and were bowled out.
Sri Lanka squared off against Bangladesh in their last match, where Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. Sri Lanka started off really well, with both their openers looking in good touch and scoring at a rapid pace. Several batters got starts, out of which Nissanka and Dhananjaya could only notch up their fifties as they posted a total of 263. In reply, Bangladesh was even more sensational right from the start as every batter looked to make the most of the situation. They won the match easily by seven wickets.

Player Picks
Rashid Khan AFG | BOWL
Rashid is a magician of the ball and is an absolute match-winner with the bat as well. He can be a great choice for captaincy roles in your team.
Matheesha Pathirana SL | BOWL
Pathirana is a newly found talent for Sri Lanka who has been spearheading their bowling attack. He has picked up 15 wickets already in 10 matches bowling some brilliant spells.
Mohammad Nabi AFG | ALL
Nabi is a brilliant all-rounder of the game and can impact the results for your team. He has mustered 3082 runs and 154 wickets in his ODI career so far.
Kusal Mendis SL | WK
Mendis had been in sensational form in the recently concluded Asia Cup and would be looking to continue with his form. He can keep the wickets as well and so can fetch you hefty points.
Sadeera Samarawickrama SL | WK
Samarawickrama was also in great form in the recent Asia Cup and can be a great budget pick for the team. He has scored 615 runs in 22 matches so far in his career.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman AFG | BOWL
Mujeeb is another fantastic wicket-taker who bowls in tandem with Rashid. He has picked up 93 wickets in 66 matches and can be a good budget pick for the team.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Rahmat Shah
AFG | BAT
Rahmat has not been performing consistently and you can make your team without him being included in it.
Kasun Rajitha
SL | BOWL
Rajitha has not been bowling well recently and can be left out of your fantasy team.
