Fantasy SL vs AFG (Source: Twitter)
In the ongoing ODI Men's Cricket World Cup in India, Afghanistan (AFG) is set to face Sri Lanka (SL) in the 30th match. The game is scheduled to take place at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Monday, October 30, at 2:00 p.m. (IST).
Afghanistan is entering this match following a remarkable eight-wicket victory over Pakistan, captained by Babar Azam, in Chennai. In addition to this notable win, the team led by Hashmatullah Shahidi has caused an upset by defeating the defending champions, England. Despite these achievements, Afghanistan's hopes of reaching the semi-finals have been dashed, as they have suffered three losses in five games.
On the contrary, Sri Lanka has recently secured wins in their matches against the Netherlands and England. In a game where they were tasked with bowling first against England, Sri Lanka managed to limit Jos Buttler and his team to a subpar total of 156 runs in 33.3 overs, largely due to Lahiru Kumara's three-wicket performance. Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama played unbeaten innings as Sri Lanka successfully pursued the target, completing the chase in just 25.4 overs.
