PUNE: Afghanistan won the toss and elected to field first against Sri Lanka in Match 30 of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 here at MCA International Stadium, Pune.
Both Afghanistan and Sri Lanka have surged back into semi-final contention with giant-killing victories, as Afghanistan stunned Pakistan and Sri Lanka made it two on the trot with a win over titleholders England.
Sri Lanka have a strong recent record against Afghanistan having won their past three clashes in the format including a thriller in the Asia Cup by only two runs, and boast opener Pathum Nissanka in red-hot form following four consecutive fifties.
