Afghanistan (AFG) will be up against Sri Lanka (SL) in the 6th match of the Asia Cup 2023 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on September 5. Afghanistan lost their opening game and are at the bottom of the rankings in Group B. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, won their first game against Bangladesh and are at the top of the table in Group B.
Afghanistan played their last game against Bangladesh, where Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat. Making the most out of a batting track, Bangladesh started on a high and kept going above and beyond. Mehidy and Shanto both brought up their centuries, respectively. A brilliant finish towards the end meant every box was ticked in the first innings, and they put up a massive total of 334 runs. In reply, Afghanistan were a little slow from the start despite having a couple of good partnerships. In the latter half of the innings, they kept losing wickets and were bowled out for 245, losing the match by 89 runs.

Sri Lanka had squared off against Bangladesh in their last match, where Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat. It was not a good decision as they did not start as they would have hoped for. Najmul Hossain Shanto did play a fine knock at one end, but he did not get enough support from the other end, and as a result, they were bowled out at a mere total of 164. In the chase, Sri Lanka also lost early wickets and looked in trouble, but the fifties from Samarawickrama and Asalanka put them back on track, and they won the match by five wickets.

Player Picks
Matheesha Pathirana SL | BOWL
Pathirana was phenomenal in the last match as he took four wickets giving away just 32 runs. He can be a fantastic choice to lead your fantasy team.
Ibrahim Zadran AFG | BAT
Ibrahim was the top scorer for Afghanistan in the last game, as he smashed 75 runs at a strike rate of 101.35 off 74 balls. He can make another good captain for your team.
Maheesh Theekshana SL | BOWL
Theekshana not only scalped away two wickets in the last match but choked the opposition as well by drying up runs. He had spent just 19 runs in the last game.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Kasun Rajitha
SL | BOWL
Rajitha was not successful in the last game where he could not scalp any wickets. He can be left out of your fantasy team.
Dimuth Karunaratne
SL | BAT
Karunaratne could only score one run in the last and did not look too great. He should not find a place in your team.
