Who Will Win Today’s Match Between Srilanka And Afghanistan

Sri Lanka’s suffered comprehensive defeats in their previous two series against formidable opponents like India and New Zealand. The stakes are higher now as Sri Lanka is yet to qualify for the upcoming ICC World Cup, set to take place in India later this year. To keep their hopes alive, Sri Lanka must avoid any further losses in the remaining ODI matches.

Afghanistan, on the other hand, has already booked their spot in the World Cup, giving them a sense of ease leading up to this match. Having won three out of their last five ODIs, with one game ending with no result, they head into this game with a brilliant track record. They will be keen to build upon their recent successes and utilize this fixture to fine-tune their strategies ahead of the highly anticipated marquee event.

Thus, the match between SL And AFG on JUNE 02 at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium holds a lot of importance as SL will fight to keep their hopes alive to qualify for ODI WORLD CUP 2023.

So, we think the SL team will feel more confident between these two teams. Because the current form of Srilankan player is much good as compared to Afganis and also the are well experienced. so we Think Srilanka Should have to win against Afghanistan.

Cheers.
