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.

Head to Head:

Sri Lanka Preview:

Sri Lanka is a stable unit, and a change in the winning combination appears improbable. Once they have sealed the series, marginal players can be given a chance, but for the time being, they should remain with the winning combination.

Sri Lanka Squad Preview:

Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Dasun Shanaka, Charith Asalanka, Wanindu Hasaranga (C), Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Maheesh Theekshana, Binura Fernando, Matheesha Pathirana

Afghanistan Preview:

Afghanistan, too, is unlikely to change the mix until there is a risk of damage. The team confronts a must-win situation and will field their strongest XI.

Afghanistan Squad Predicted:

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran (c), Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Karim Janat, Naveen ul Haq, Noor Ahmed, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Qais Ahmed

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Prediction:

Sri Lanka are the favourites to win. The side has yet to lose a game against Afghanistan in the series, having won the one-off Test, three One-Day Internationals, and the first T20I. They have a powerful staff at their disposal and would be willing to clean sweep Afghans. Furthermore, Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s lack of runs has substantially damaged Afghanistan since he is the one batter who sets the tone for Afghanistan’s victory, and if he fails to deliver, Afghanistan’s chances suffer. Support Sri Lanka to win.
