ICC Cricket World Cup: Match 12 - Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan

ICC World Cup 2015: Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka - Player ratings

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan - Competitive India vs South Africa - One sided. #justsaying

@TheCricketGeek Its the best decision. 10 at WC. Top 6 auto 1 year out and next 8 play off for 4. 16 teams in T20WC. Best format by far.

WATCH | Should minnows even be allowed to play cricket? http://t.co/qSpVJBJGlH

Sri Lanka must improve standards to win World Cup, says Angelo Mathews http://t.co/FsxVpRUqET http://t.co/Zprf8PrOn4

A fantastic game. Even tighter than the final margin suggests. How Sri Lanka sweated. Afghanistan, especially the quicks, so good #afgvsl

Sri Lanka have survived a bit of a scare to overcome Afghanistan by 4 wickets. Jayawardene, as expected, wins the Man of the Match for his 100 off 120 balls.

Sri Lanka needed their biggest seventh-wicket World Cup stand to down Afghanistan http://t.co/F9W2LRS1d1 #CricinfoInsights #CWC15

GSM. It was good till it lasted, you beautiful Afghan beasts

Thisara Perera shifting the match in Lanka's favour! 32* off 17.. Need 15 off 21.

SL need 36 off the last 5 overs.. 4 wickets remaining!

4th century for Mahela Jayawardene in World Cup matches, only Tendulkar (6) and Ponting (5) has hit more in WC history. #CWC15 #AFGvSL

Is there a final twist here? Jayawardene dismissed after reaching his century! 182-6 in 41.3 overs. SL need 51 from 51 balls. Thisara Perera and Jeevan Mendis at the crease..

Mathews gone.. Sri Lanka need 56 off 58 deliveries! Jayawardene on 99*

Afghanistan's Hamid Hassan cart wheel celebrations against Sri Lanka #AFGvsSL — http://t.co/ELrBuulHmc #SLvsAFG http://t.co/U6rwlKk5Vd

Jayawardene, Mathews complete 100-run fifth wicket stand; SL 152/4 after 36 overs http://t.co/ELrBuulHmc #SLvsAFG

Jayawardene and Mathews cruising in their run chase. Require just 86 runs from 90 deliveries with 6 wickets in hand.

Sri Lanka starting to cruise along, Mahela brings up his 6th WC 50. He has registered a fifty stand with Mathews. 128/4 in 30 #AFGvSL #CWC15

The early spate of wickets seems to be happening in every game, particularly those in New Zealand.

61/4 in 15.2 overs. Jayawardene and Mathews at the crease. Target - 233!

Hamid Hassan becomes the fastest player among Associates to get to 50 ODI wickets! IT'S THE POWER OF THE HEADBAND! #slvafg #cwc2015

Now that's a wicket celebration! Sri Lanka 4-55 in the 14th over. LIVE: http://t.co/hql2LDvdQy #cwc15 #SLvAFG http://t.co/BUUJXC4xLg

Karunaratne gone! 4 down.. Hassan strikes again! SL - 51/4 in 12 overs..

I'll be thrilled if Afghanistan visit India instead of Sri Lanka 300,000 times a year. #AFGvSL

Afghanistan 34/3 in 9.1 overs! Jayawardene and Karunaratne at the crease..

Only the second time in ODIs that both openers have been dismissed for golden ducks (via @cricket_U) #cwc15 #SLvAFG http://t.co/FIIQirmZjM

Interesting decision to open with both Zadrans ahead of Hamid, but working a treat. This pace attack better than some full members. #CWC15

If Afghanistan weren't so keen to emulate Pakistan's pathetic fielding, this game might have been over by now! #CWC15 #AFGvSL

GET IN YOU BUNCH OF GLORIOUS WAR MACHINES!!!

Hamid Hassan, the cricket hipster legend, has done the perfect dismissal and the celebration of WC history

A kid in a Christchurch world cup park just saw Hassan do a cartwheel and did it too. #unevenworldcup

About to get on a 1.5 hour flight and don't want to because Afghanistan #CWC15

Passion: 10/10 Execution: 0.5/10 Hammad Hassan's cartwheel.

Top order collapses #CWC15 Scotland 2/2 v New Zealand Afghanistan 3/3 v Bangladesh West Indies 1/4 v Pakistan Sri Lanka 2/2 v Afghanistan

C'mon Afghanistan...game on! Imagine if they hadn't lost the last 8 wickets for 104 runs. #AfgvSL #cwc15

Afghanistan are at 172/5 at the end of the 36th over; Mohammad Nabi was bowled by Malinga in this over

The 88-run stand between Stanikzai and Shenwari was the best for Afghanistan in ODIs against the top-eight nations.

Well done Stanikzai, for scoring Afghanistan's first World Cup fifty. A run a ball too, against Sri Lanka in Dunedin http://t.co/a88pPEgzXl

Stanikzai's fluent innings comes to a close. Falls to a flighted one from Herath. 54 off 57 balls. Afghanistan 129/2 after 27.2 overs.

Fine half-century from Asghar Stanikzai. 53 off 53 balls. His 5th highest ODI score.

Half way through @ACBofficials innings and they are 117/2 after 25 overs. Predictions on AFG final score? #SLvAFG #LionsRoar #cwc15

When will teams learn that using reviews on tight lbw decisions always ends in tears? #afgvsl

Not Out. http://t.co/jmBVZTcheE

Fifty partnership up between Shenwari and Stanikzai in the 22nd over; the 100 also comes up for AFG — http://t.co/ELrBuulHmc #SLvsAFG

TEAM 100: Afghanistan 100/2 (21.3/50) Asghar Stanikzai 38 (39) Samiullah Shenwari 20 (37) http://t.co/sMJwYvMn4x

#WorldCup2015: Stanikzai and Shenwari have added 50 runs for third wicket. Afghanistan 90/2 (21.1 overs) http://t.co/FljgXLZon7

It's an Afghanistan party in Dunedin as @ACBofficials move onto 79/2 after 18. LIVE: http://t.co/CD26MEVKTV #SLvAFG http://t.co/iPpAS6g0Oo

We have another @TuiBeer #Tuicatchamillion winner! Congrats Jamie Gough! #SLvAFG http://t.co/oXk6Bo0QBR
