Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka, Match 32
AFG vs SL: Afghanistan will lock horns against Sri Lanka in Match 32 of the ICC T20 World Cup, 2022 on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at The Gabba, Brisbane.
It will be a must-win game for both teams as the one ending up on the losing side will be knocked out of the semifinal race. Sri Lanka have managed to win just one Super-12 contest, beating Ireland in their opening fixture.
However, they failed to continue their winning run as they lost their next two matches against Australia and New Zealand by comprehensive margins. Currently, they are languishing at the bottom of the league table with just two points in their account.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, lost their opening fixture in the Super-12 against England by five wickets while their next two matches against New Zealand and Ireland were abandoned without a ball being bowled.
They are currently placed at the second last spot of the points table with just two points in their account. Both teams’ hopes of making it into the semi-finals are tied with a thread with both teams eyeing a win here to avoid any blunder further in the tournament.
