SL vs AFG Match Preview

This is the first match of the SUPER 4 of Asia cup 2022 after Sri Lanka pulled off a thriller against Bangladesh.

Sri Lanka (SL) will have to show strength in bowling

First of all, if we talk about Sri Lanka, then when the team faced Afghanistan for the first time in the Asia Cup 2022, then the teams batting looked very weak. The team had scored 105 runs against the Afghan team with poor batting. However, after seeing the teams batting against Bangladesh last Thursday, it would not be wrong to say that the team improved its batting and achieved the mountainous target of 184 runs in a spectacular manner.

But now the biggest problem for the team in the next match is bowling. Because in the last two matches, it has been seen that the Sri Lankan team has been flop in bowling. Where the team was able to take only 2 wickets against Afghanistan, the bowlers of the team against Bangladesh took seven wickets as well as looted a lot of runs. In such a situation, now Sri Lankan bowlers will have to show their strength to register a win against Afghanistan.

Afghanistans (AFG) lower middle order weak

Afghanistan, on the other hand, have quality spinners and will look to their chances against the Sri Lankan batting lineup. At the same time, Fazlahaq Farooqui bowled a brilliant new ball against Sri Lanka in the last meeting and broke the back of the teams batting order. In such a situation, he will be a big threat to Sri Lankas top order in the next match. Even though the team is top in bowling, apart from the bowlers, the batsmen will also have to show their amazing performance.

In both the matches of the team, the top-order batsmen have handled the front, but the weakness of the team is its lower order at the moment. The lower-order batsmen are not batting in the rhythm they should be doing. Because of this, if the team has to win against Sri Lanka, then its lower-middle-order batsmen will have to show stamina.
