Match Prediction:
Sri Lanka will face Afghanistan in the second T20I on Monday. The match will take place at the Dambulla International Stadium and will begin at 7:00 PM IST.
Sri Lanka grabbed a 1-0 series lead after defeating Afghanistan by four runs in the opening Twenty20 International. Afghanistan were in total control, needing 14 runs in 12 balls with three wickets in hand, but Matheesha Pathirana played an outstanding last over in which he conceded only three runs and took two wickets, turning the game in Sri Lanka’s advantage.
Afghanistan bowled brilliantly, limiting Sri Lanka just 160 runs. However, except from Ibrahim Zadran, none of the hitters had any intent as the game slid away from them.
