Tuesday is going to be a thrilling day in the Asia Cup 2023! The sixth match of the tournament is set to take place at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. This is a must-win game for Afghanistan, who were soundly defeated by Bangladesh in the previous round. The spin-bowling attack of Afghanistan – considered one of the best in the world – failed to make an impression in that match, with Mujeeb ur Rahman being the only one to take a wicket. Bangladesh scored 334 runs in their 50 overs, while Afghanistan fell short at 245.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had a great start to their campaign in the Asia Cup 2023, defeating Bangladesh by five wickets. Charith Asalanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama both scored half-centuries to help their team chase down the 162 total set by Bangladesh.
The 2022 Asia Cup game between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan went in the former's favour. Afghanistan put up a strong 175 runs in their 20 overs, but Sri Lanka chased it down with five deliveries and four wickets to spare. With the format changed to 50-over cricket, Afghanistan will face a much bigger challenge this time.
The match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will be broadcast on Star Sports, while the live streaming can be watched on Hotstar. So, make sure to tune in on Tuesday and enjoy the thrilling match between these two teams!
