AFG vs SL Today Match Prediction and Betting Odds | Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka ICC World Cup 2019

Venue and Timings

Sri Lanka look forward to collecting their shattered pieces

New Zealand handed over a humiliating defeat to Sri Lanka in the last match. Sri Lanka lost the match by 10 wickets and they would aim to get past their horrendous run when they meet Afghanistan. Interestingly,  Afghanistan have won more ODIs than Sri Lanka since 2015 despite playing 22 less games than Sri Lanka. Although the stats do not favour the team, they will aim to defeat Afghanistan when they meet in the next header.

Promising Afghanistan move on to stun Sri Lanka

Although Afghanistan were beaten by Australia in the last match, they still have potential to come back. In their last match, their openers went back on ducks and the lower-order exhibited some promise to help their team put some runs on the board. Considered as the dark horses of the tournament, Afghanistan would aim to keep up to the tag and take their rivals head-on.
