Sri Lanka sealed a win by 4 wickets against Afghanistan in the Super 4 fixture of the Asia Cup 2022 on Saturday in Sharjah. Chasing 176, the Lankan side was off to a decent start as openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis put up a partnership of 62 runs for the first wicket.
But Mendis’ dismissal was followed by wickets at a regular interval leaving Sri Lanka in a spot of bother at 151/5. But it was Bhanuka Rajapaksa who held the fort at one end and chipped in with a 14-ball 31 to help the side go over the line.
Don’t know why Afghanistan resist playing a genuine 4th spinner. Surely that’s their strength,especially in the UAE #SLvsAFG

Earlier, Afghanistan’s Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran were the pick of the batters for the side. While Gurbaz struck 84 in 45 deliveries, Zadran scored 40 off 38. But no other batter couldn’t really get into the groove as Sri Lankan bowlers were able to pull things back in the death overs and restricted Afghanistan to 175/6 in 20 overs.
