Prediction for Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022
Judging the squads of the nations, both Afghanistan and Sri Lanka have moderately balanced teams. While the bowling line of Afghanistan is slightly more powerful than Sri Lanka, the Lankan batsmen have better stats than their Afghan counterparts.
Afghanistan has missed their last two matches due to rain after losing to England in their first game. They would desperately try to win this match. Sri Lanka also needs these points to stay in the race for qualification.
We speculate this match to have tense moments as none of the sides would make it easy for the other. Nevertheless, Afghanistan has the potential to win this match.
