3 teams that should be wary of Afghanistan in the World Cup

#2 Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka v England - 2nd One Day International

Beside the West Indies, Sri Lanka is another team whose cricketing standards have deteriorated in current days. After the departure of their great players like Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardena, TM Dilshan, Chaminda Vaas etc from the side, they have taken a lot of time in the transition process as they still struggle to find the right combination.

They still have star players Thisara Perera, Angelo Mathews, Lasith Malinga and Upul Tharanga in their side but they go through a lot of injury issues and as a result, the former World Cup winners stand eighth in the ICC Team Rankings chart right now. Sri Lanka lost both their matches in this Asia Cup out which one was against Afghanistan only.

After seeing their such performances, it becomes really hard to believe that they played World Cup finals seven years back against India at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai in April 2011.

Sri Lanka has their match scheduled against Afghanistan on June 04, 2019 at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.
