Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will come against each other. The Afghanistan tour of Sri Lanka will begin today with three One Day Internationals (ODIs) matches. AFG vs SL matches will be played in Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele.

Recently, the two teams were engaged in the ICC T20 World Cup and both the sides made group-stage exits. While Afghanistan got defeated in all the games, Sri Lanka got a win in two and defeat in three matches. 

After the World Cup 2022, Mohammad Nabi stepped down as Afghan skipper. Now, Hasmatullah Shahidi  will captain the side that has the favors of Nabi Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Fazalhaq Farooqi. 

Sri Lanka emerged victorious in the Asia Cup 2022. Initially, they lost to Afghanistan and then defeated them in the Super 4 round. To lead the team, Dasun Shanaka will be positioned in the absence of Chamika Karunaratne. Gunarthikala is prohibited to play the match by the board due to charges of sexual assault on him.
