Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will take on each other in the first clash of Super 4s of Asia Cup 2022 on Saturday at the Sharjah cricket stadium. Afghanistan, led by all-rounder Mohammad Nabi, qualified for Super 4s with victories over Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Group B of the tournament. It would not be wrong to say that Afghanistan are among the best sides so far in he tournament with 2 back-to-back dominant wins in Asia Cup.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka huffed and puffed to reach the Super 4 of Asia Cup. The Dasun Shanaka-led side were outplayed and outclassed in the opening contest, losing it to Afghanistan by 8 wickets. They needed to win their second Group game vs Bangladesh and they won the contest in the last-over thriller to enter the Super 4s. Sri Lanka will be under pressure in the Super 4 clash vs Afghanistan as they lost the last contest by a big margin.
Sri Lanka will be hoping their captain Dasun and likes of Chamika Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis are at their best against Afghanistan. Rashid Khan will be a huge threat for Sri Lanka as his spin can be tough to tackle. Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz can be threatening opening pair for Sri Lanka as well.
