Sri Lanka (SL) will cross swords with Afghanistan (AFG) in the second ODI of the three-match series at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on February 11, Sunday.

After losing the toss, Sri Lanka were tasked to bat first. They racked up a whopping total of 381/3 in 50 overs. Opener Pathum Nissanka smacked an unbeaten 210-run knock in 139 balls with 20 fours and eight sixes. 

Nissanka received good support from Avishka Fernando, who scored 88 runs in 88 balls, including eight fours and three sixes. Later, in the death overs, Sadeera Samarawickrama smacked 45 runs in 36 balls, featuring four fours and one six. Fareed Malik scalped two wickets for Afghanistan, while Mohammad Nabi claimed one wicket.

In the chase, Afghanistan were reduced to 55/5 in 8.3 overs, thanks to Pramod Madushan and Dushmantha Chameera's pace and swing bowling. However, Azmatullah Omarzai (149*) and Mohammad Nabi (136) forged a 242-run stand for the sixth wicket to slightly turn the tables towards their side.

Nevertheless, Sri Lanka's dominating target assured them a win with Madhushan picking up Nabi's wicket in the 46th over. Both sides would be aiming to put their best foot forward in the second ODI and it would be interesting to watch which side comes out on top.

Wanindu Hasaranga SL | ALL

Wanindu Hasaranga couldn't create any impact on a batting wicket in the first ODI. However, a player of his stature is expected to churn out a lot of fantasy points.

8.5

Rahmanullah Gurbaz AFG | WK

Rahmanullah Gurbaz could score only one run in the first ODI. Nevertheless, he is known for his dashing batting skills in the initial overs and he can turn the game upside down.

9

Kusal Mendis SL | WK

Kusal Mendis played a false shot in the first ODI, racking up only 16 off 31 balls. He is one of the most consistent batters in the line-up and we can expect him to make a strong comeback.

Dushmantha Chameera scalped two important wickets in the first ODI. Known for breaking crucial partnerships, Chameera would be an important player for Sri Lanka.
