AFG vs SL Dream11, WC: Check top fantasy picks, probable playing XIs, pitch report

Afghanistan will take on Sri Lanka tomorrow in the ongoing ICC Men’s ODI World Cup. Both these teams are still in contention to make it to the semi-final of the showpiece event. Currently, both are placed with four points each and need to win all their games to harbor the last hopes. Sri Lanka are coming off a win against England, while Afghanistan defeated Pakistan.

Over the past two years, these teams have played good cricket, and have entertained audiences with nail-biting cricket. However, a loss to either Afghanistan or Sri Lanka in this encounter will derail the chance of the team to enter the semis. This match is crucial, and hence Afghans and Lankans will try to give their all in this epic clash.

Afghanistan have been a revelation in the WC, as they have won against two big teams England and Pakistan. Their bowling is spot on, with the likes of Mujeeb, Rashid Khan, and Mohammad Nabi bowling well on the spin-friendly pitches.

However, batting is a problem as barring Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, none of the betters have shown consistency. Afghan batters need to step up if they want to beat another Test-playing nation, Sri Lanka.
