Cardiff, June 04, Tuesday at 03:00 PM IST
After facing defeats in the opening encounters, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka will look to bounce back when both the teams will meet each other in Cardiff for their second game.
Afghanistan faced 7 wickets defeats against Australia in their opening fixture of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 while Sri Lanka succumbed to 10 wickets massive defeat at the hands of New Zealand at the start of their campaign.
Afghanistan looked quite confident against Australia and will start as favourites against the demoralised Sri Lankan lions.
The match will begin at 03:00 PM IST.

Team 1 and 2: Afghan spinners at work
With Sri Lankan Lions already low on confidence, the lethal spin-trio of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman can be the game changer for the today.
Team 3 and 4: Overcast conditions assisting pacers
Both the sides have quality seam bowlers who can bowl lethal deliveries with the new ball. Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga and Afghanistan’s Hamid Hasan can really become a threat for opposition’s top order in the overcast conditions. Also, the toss winning side is certain to choose bowling first. So, here are the two teams based on toss as well as overcast conditions –
If Sri Lanka wins the toss –
If Afghanistan wins the toss –
**Hamid Hasan is slightly doubtful. If he doesn’t play today, you can pick Aftab Alam at is place
Team 5 and 6: The veterans- Angelo Mathews, L Malinga, T Perera
The experienced campaigners from Angelo Mathews, L Malinga and T Perera are expected to be the key contributors for today’s game. The former skipper Angelo Mathews slammed a half-century in the warmup games while L Malinga has been in fine form lately.
