Sri Lanka is all set to host Afghanistan in the 1st match of the three-match ODI series on Friday, June 2. The match will take place at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota.

In November 2022, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka faced off in their most recent One Day International (ODI) series, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Sri Lanka managed to stage a strong comeback in the third ODI after a level scoreline. During the series, Ibrahim Zadran emerged as the top scorer for Afghanistan, showcasing his batting prowess. On the other hand, Rashid Khan proved to be their leading wicket-taker, taking a total of five wickets across the two matches. However, the leg-spinner will miss the first two ODI due to his lower-back injury and is expected to return in the third ODI on June 7.
