AFG vs SL Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s Match Between AFGHANISTAN AND SRI LANKA

• On the batting front, Sri Lanka has a far more experienced and versatile batting order than Afghanistan.
• Sri Lankan openers have been in fine form lately, with Kusal Mendis being the leading run-scorer so far.
• Afghanistan’s batting is heavily dependent on Gurbaz, and Ibrahim Zadran alone. Everyone except their openers are quite conservative in their approach and that style is not suited for T20 cricket.
• Zazai is injured and may not take the field against Sri Lanka.
• In the spin bowling department, both teams have probably the best spin units in the competition.
• The last time these two sides faced off against each other in a T20I match, Sri Lanka defeated Afghanistan by 4 wickets.
