SL vs AFG Preview:
Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka’s journey to the final of the 2023 Asia Cup in September raised expectations for the 2023 Cricket World Cup. However, their performance in the World Cup was disappointing as they finished only above the Netherlands. Nevertheless, playing on home soil, they will be confident of starting the series with a victory.
Afghanistan: Afghanistan faced defeats in their last two games of the 2023 Cricket World Cup against semi-finalists South Africa and eventual winners Australia. Despite this, they won three of their previous four matches. Known for their attacking mindset, Afghanistan will approach the match against Sri Lanka without fear.
