Preview

Sri Lanka (SL) will be up against Afghanistan (AFG) in the 2nd T20I of the Afghanistan tour of Sri Lanka at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla on February 19. After clean-sweeping Afghanistan in the ODI series 3-0, Sri Lanka has started the T20I series with a bang as well. They have won the first game and lead the three-match series.

Playing against each other in the last game at the same venue, Afghanistan had won the toss and elected to field. Sri Lanka Lanka lost the opener Nissanka in the first over itself but had a decent second-wicket partnership to keep them in the game. The highlight of the innings was the skipper’s knock of 67 off just 32 balls and the fifth wicket stand which lasted for 72 runs. Farooqui scalped three while Naveen and Omarzai took two each as they bowled the Lankans on an average total of 160.

Afghanistan had a decent chase ahead of them and they started aggressively for it. Gurbaz, who had looked good so far, was lost at the score of 25. The second wicket stand between Ibrahim and Naib was a good one where they amassed 43 runs at a good rate. However, they struggled after that as they were not able to have good partnerships. Skipper Ibrahim Zadran stood his ground from one end but kept losing partners from the other end and in a very interesting turn of events Afghanistan lost the game in a close call of four runs.

Player Picks

9
C

Wanindu Hasaranga SL | ALL

Hasaranga played a captain's knock as he was the highest run-scorer for his team. He came back to do a great job with the ball too and should be made captain of your team too.

8.5
C

Matheesha Pathirana SL | BOWL

Pathirana bowled exceptionally well in the last match where he scalped away four in his quota of four overs. He is another fantastic option for leadership roles.

9
C

Ibrahim Zadran AFG | BAT

The lone warrior from the Afghan camp, Zadran did a great job with the bat. Playing 55 deliveries, he scored 67 runs and remained unbeaten as well.

7.5

Fazalhaq Farooqi AFG | BOWL

As expected from the speedster, he made the most of the form he was in. He took away three wickets in his quota of four overs giving away just 25 runs.

9

Azmatullah Omarzai AFG | ALL

Omarzai was brilliant with the ball as he picked up two wickets giving away 30 runs in his four overs. He can be a good pick for your fantasy side.

8.5

Rahmanullah Gurbaz AFG | WK

Although Gurbaz could not contribute much to his team in the last game apart from scoring 13 runs, he is a run-away match-winner and can be a stand-out performer for this game.

8

Dasun Shanaka SL | ALL

Shanaka could not do much with the bat in the previous game but returned with the ball well. He scalped away two wickets bowling just two overs in the last match.

7.5

Karim Janat AFG | ALL

Janat chipped in with the bat as well as the ball in the last game for his team. He scored 20 runs with the bat and scalped a wicket away with the ball.

8

Naveen-ul-Haq AFG | BOWL

Naveen bowled really well to bring his team back into the game as he took away two wickets in his three overs. He can be a good budget pick for your team.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

7

Qais Ahmad

AFG | BOWL

Qais could not contribute to his team either with the bat or with the ball. He should not find a place in your team.

8.5

Pathum Nissanka

SL | BAT

Nissanka did not look in great touch with the bat in the last game. He can be left out of your fantasy team.
