Afghanistan and Sri Lanka have had close games in the recent past. The wicket in Pune will be good for batting, which is why the quality bowling units of both teams will be tested. The team that bats second will have advantage because of the dew factor.
Sri Lanka have more experience of playing at the grand stage, but Afghanistan have defeated former champions like England and Pakistan. It should be a close contest, with Afghanistan eventually defeating Sri Lanka.
