AFG vs SL Preview
- Due to weather, Afghanistan’s first two games were called off.
- After a promising start to their T20 World Cup campaign, Sri Lanka lost two straight games.
- The spinners are in excellent form, while Sri Lankan hitters have played poorly recently.
Tuesday afternoon at the Gabba in Brisbane, Match 32 of the 2022 T20 World Cup pits Afghanistan against Sri Lanka. Without bowling a ball, Afghanistan failed to score against New Zealand and Ireland and lost against England. In the second round, Sri Lanka won one game and lost two. At 14:00 local time, the Super 12 stage game gets started.
Although Afghanistan thought they had a good chance against Ireland on Friday in Melbourne, the game was called off. Afghanistan will be eager to play after two consecutive abandonments, so this will be a difficult game.
Due to a string of unfortunate injuries, Sri Lanka’s pace bowling assault has fallen short of expectations. When they play well, their spin bowlers have the talent to defeat any opposition.
AFG vs SL Weather Report
Despite showers earlier in the day, the weather is expected to be dry during the game’s scheduled hours. Throughout, the temperature will remain in the low 20s.
AFG vs SL Match Toss Prediction
We forecast that neither team will want to bat first on a pitch that has been covered because rain is predicted to fall in the hours leading up to the game. Both skippers are expected to decide to field first.
AFG vs SL Pitch Report
The match between bat and ball should be terrific on this surface. There will be a lot of paces on the field, and we anticipate a par score of at least 175 points.
