Sri Lanka live to fight another day after defeating Afghanistan by 6 wickets

Published

on

Sri Lanka beat Afghanistan by 6 wickets on Tuesday at the Gabba in Brisbane in what was a critical T20 World Cup match for both teams.

Having won the toss, Mohammed Nabi opted to bat first. After a good start in the powerplay for Afghanistan (42/0), Sri Lanka came back in the contest. Lahiru Kumara (2/30) and Wanindu Hasaranga (3/13) were the pick of the bowlers as Afghanistan finished at 144/8 in 20 overs.

Sri Lanka then went on to breathe some life back into their T20 World Cup campaign when Dhananjaya de Silva (66 not out off 42 balls) guided his side home with nine balls to spare.

Sri Lanka's win moves them to four points in Group 1 but they need to beat England (3 points) in their last Super 12 match while also hoping New Zealand (5) or Australia (5) slip up in their final matches.

However, star leg-spinner Rashid Khan appeared to injure his hamstrings in the final minutes of the match. Early reports indicate he wasl being assessed by doctors.

Afghanistan’s loss has meanwhile spelt the end for them to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
