AFG vs SL Preview

Afghanistan will look to finalize their preparations for the mega event as their first warm-up game against South Africa was washed out because of rain. After an early exit from the Asia Cup 2023, Afghanistan have plenty of questions to answer and they will hope to get some of the answers against Sri Lanka.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka lost their first warm-up game against Bangladesh by 7 wickets. Batting first, their batters disappointed massively and could not put up a competitive total. Meanwhile, defending the total on a tough surface, the bowlers also faded out. Sri Lanka will have to pull up their socks if they want to trouble the big players this World Cup.
