SL vs AFG: Resurgent Afghanistan aim to topple
Dasun Shanaka-led Lankan with bowling smarts
Afghanistan bowlers had a rare off day with the ball in hand in the second ODI. Barring Mujeeb, the rest of the spinners failed to control in the middle overs, which allowed Lankan batters to post a formidable total of 332.
In the third ODI, Afghanistan spinners will be keen to not give any loose balls. Batting has looked solid for the visitors, with Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Shahidi among the runs.
Speaking about the Lankans, the team displayed a gritty performance with bat and ball. Dhananjaya de Silva has been excellent for the hosts, with bat and ball in hand. Hasaranga also found his mojo after a dismal performance in the first ODI. Now it is about sustaining that momentum in the final ODI.
