Asian Games Men’s T20I 2023, Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are all set to face each other in the Quarter-Final 3 of the Asian Games Men’s T20I 2023. The Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field in Hangzhou will be hosting this clash on Wednesday, October 4.

The Afghans, led by veteran all-rounder Gulbadin Naib, have a strong squad at their disposal. Several of their players have significant experience of taking part in international matches.

Mohammad Shahzad and Noor Ali Zadran have seen the ups and downs of Afghan cricket over the last 12 to 13 years. Sediqullah Atal is a young and exciting prospect with the bat.

Karim Janat and Sharafuddin Ashraf are effective all-rounders. Qais Ahmad and Zahir Khan Pakteen are the ones who will take care of the spin department. Sayed Shirzad and Fareed Malik are the fast bowlers.

Sri Lanka have some talented cricketers, but are not as experienced as the Afghans. The focus will be on spinner Vijaykanth Viyaskanth, who has had a couple of impressive seasons in the Lanka Premier League (LPL).
