Afghanistan and Sri Lanka faced each other in the 30th match of the 2023 World Cup on Monday, October 30, at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bowl.

Afghanistan brought Fazalhaq Farooqi in the playing XI to replace Noor Ahmad. Sri Lanka made two changes to their playing XI from the previous game. Dushmantha Chameera replaced the injured Lahiru Kumara, and Dimuth Karunaratne came in place of Kusal Perera.

Sri Lanka lost their first wicket for just 22 runs in the sixth over in the form of Karunaratne. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis then added 62 runs for the second wicket. Nissanka failed to reach a half-century and was dismissed after scoring 46 runs off 60 deliveries.

Mendis added another 50 runs for the third wicket along with Sadeera Samarawickrama. They both made 30-plus runs each but Sri Lanka suffered a mini-collapse after they departed and were bundled out for 241 runs in 49.3 overs.

Farooqi was the pick of the bowlers and became the first bowler to take a four-wicket haul in the ODI World Cup for Afghanistan. He gave away 34 runs in his 10 overs.

Afghanistan lost their first wicket with zero runs on the board as Dilshan Madushanka bowled Rahmanullah Gurbaz on the fourth delivery of the innings. Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah added 73 runs for the second wicket and helped the team recover. Rahmat had a partnership of 58 runs for the third wicket with Hashmatullah Shahidi.

The best was yet to come for Afghanistan as Shahidi and Azamatullah Omarzai had a partnership of 111 runs for the fourth wicket. They helped Afghanistan cross the line in 45.2 overs with seven wickets in hand. Omarzai played an unbeaten knock of 73 runs off just 63 deliveries.
