Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction: Players to Watch
Afghanistan
Several Afghanistan players have emerged and become world-class over the past few years. Rashid Khan is, and forever will be, one of Afghanistan’s greatest exports. Arguably the best-limited overs spinner in the world for the past five years, he will spearhead a spin attack that includes Mujeer Ur Rahman and Noor Ahmad
Rahmanullah Gurbaz showed audiences his ability with his performances for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023. And the middle order will be handled by experienced all-rounder Mohammad Nabi and the captain Hashmatullah Shahidi.
Sri Lanka
The defending champions will rely heavily on their big names with the support of the rest of the team. Leg-spinning all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga and batter Dhananjaya de Silva are surely the pick of the bunch.
The pace-spin duo of Matheesha Patheerana and Maheesh Theekshana have been performing well for the national side along with playing a crucial role in Chennai Super Kings’ IPL win.

Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium has always helped seamers find swing with the new ball. Although in recent times, the pitch has become somewhat of a batting haven, with the teams that withstand the first few overs making big runs.
After their victory in last year’s Asia Cup, the Sri Lankan team has grown from strength to strength, their prospective players have bloomed in class talent in the last year, while their best players have turned into team leaders. Their better pace and batting attack will also help on the pitch of the Gaddafi Stadium.
Afghanistan has always been a tough customer for the bigger teams. That will also be the case in this tournament. With an experienced bunch of leaders in the team, they are certainly the dark horse of the tournament. Despite that, Sri Lanka has the upper hand in the match
