Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Asia Cup 2022 Match Preview:
Both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan have faced tough times in the recent past as far as their T20I performance is concerned. While Sri Lanka has failed to clinch a single T20I series in 2022, Afghanistan lost its recent five-match T20I series against Ireland.
Despite that fact, both sides will aim to start off their campaign on a winning note in Dubai International Stadium.
However, Sri Lanka will be short of their premier pacer Dushmanta Chameera, who has been ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022 after suffering a calf injury. Right-armer Pramod Madushan has been added to the Sri Lanka squad as Chameera’s replacement.
Although Afghanistan suffered a close loss against Ireland in the five-match T20I series, they white-washed Zimbabwe in the series prior to Ireland’s in the latter’s backyard which would certainly give them fair bit of encouragement to deal with the Sri Lankans.
