Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka T20 World Cup: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details for Match 32

Afghanistan will take on Sri Lanka in the 32nd match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. The Gabba in Brisbane will host this exciting Group 1 fixture on November 1.

Afghanistan have been extremely unlucky in the T20 World Cup 2022. They lost their opening fixture against England and they didn’t have any chance of bouncing back as their next game against New Zealand was washed out due to rain.

The Melbourne Cricket Ground was set to host the clash between Afghanistan and Ireland but rain again played spoilsport and the game was abandoned without a ball being bowled. Afghanistan now move to Brisbane, where they hope to finally get some action.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, qualified for the Super 12s after topping Group A. They started their Super 12 campaign with a comprehensive win over Ireland but lost their way a bit. They lost to Australia in their next game before suffering a big loss against New Zealand in their most recent match.

After being asked to bat first, the Lankan bowlers struggled a bit as New Zealand posted 167 on the board. Kasun Rajitha picked up two wickets for the Asians. In reply, only Bhanuka Rajapaksa (34) and Dasun Shanaka (35) managed to get to double digits as they were bundled out on 102 to lose the game by 65 runs. They will have to be on their toes while facing the Afghan side on Tuesday.
