Afghanistan is ready to face Sri Lanka in the first match of the Asia Cup

Published

The Afghanistan team is ready to challenge Sri Lanka in the first match of the tournament.

The 2022 Asia Cup is the perfect tournament for Afghanistan to showcase their talent. The squad has been searching for a crown in the world tournaments for quite some time now and thus the Asian tournament is a good haven for them.

The Afghanistan team lacked experience in the past. However, with many of their players playing in several T20 leagues around the world, they now have the experience to go the distance. Afghanistan, which will challenge Sri Lanka in the first match of the tournament, belongs to the first group. Three days later (August 30) they are scheduled to take on the team in Bangladesh.

The Afghanistan team is still acting like a rookie. But, there are a few players who can change the complexion of the match at any given time. Bowling has always been their strength. Spinner Rashid Khan’s bowling will make it difficult for any opposition player to get into his usual range.

However, there may be times when Rashid doesn’t always deliver what the team needs. Najibullah Zadran is likely to be their next trump card. Middle-order batting is likely to be a problem as skipper Mohammad Nabi is not among the best at the moment. If the team believes strongly in their bowling and the pitches are bowler-friendly, Afghanistan can make a big splash in Asia Cup 2022.

Team Squad : Mohammad Nabi (c), Najibullah Zadran, Afsar Zazai, Azmatullah Omarzai, Farid Ahmad Malik, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Karim Janat, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Najibullah Zadran, Naveen ul Haq, Noor Ahmad , Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Samiullah Shinwari.

Sri Lanka Under-19 Women continued their impressive run in the Tri-Series in Australia, securing their third consecutive victory with a commanding 35-run win over England in Match 8.

Batting first, Sri Lanka posted a modest total of 104 for 8 in their 20 overs. Despite early pressure, valuable contributions from V. Balasuriya, who scored a steady 34 off 40 balls, and S. Kavindi with 26 off 33 deliveries helped stabilize the innings. England’s bowling attack was led by E. Bristowe, who delivered an excellent spell, claiming 3 wickets for just 15 runs.

In response, England struggled to build momentum against a disciplined Sri Lankan bowling unit. The innings was wrapped up in 16.3 overs, falling well short of the target. A. Oliver top-scored with 16 runs, while S. Patil added 12, but the rest of the lineup failed to make significant contributions.

Sri Lanka’s bowlers were outstanding, with V. Weerappuli taking 2 for 6, supported by strong performances from L. Thilakarathne and P. Methsara, who picked up key wickets to dismantle the opposition.
