THE PREDICTION
Whilst they have impressed in the T20 format of the game, Afghanistan are still yet to truly crack the 50-over format as of yet. Their lack of batting depth normally sees them come unstuck in this, the longer form of while ball cricket and it would be no surprise to see that pattern continue here in Kandy. Whilst both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan contain spin-bowling attacks who are likely to be afforded a decent amount of joy if previous pitches in Sri Lanka are to go by, the extra ODI experience and batting depth of Sri Lanka should see them wind up victorious here.
