AFG vs SL, Match 6: Pitch Report

The pitch at the Gaddafi Stadium generally favours the batters, especially in the first innings. The wicket slows down with the progress of the match, and chasing seems a difficult task here. The team batting first will get the best batting conditions, and they will be looking to post over 300 runs. So, we might see the team winning the toss deciding to bat first.

AFG vs SL, Match 6: Top Player Picks

Ibrahim Zadran (AFG)

• The Afghan opener was the biggest positive for the team in the last match against Bangladesh. Ibrahim Zadran scored a brilliant half-century and will be a good pick for this game too. 

Matheesha Pathirana (SL)

• Matheesha Pathirana was brilliant in the first game for Sri Lanka. He bowls in the death overs and has the form behind him making a very crucial pick in the match. 

Pathum Nissanka (SL)

• The Sri Lankan opener looked in good touch in the last match against Bangladesh. Although he did not convert the start, Nissanka being a top-order batter will be a good pick for the game. 

Maheesh Theekshana (SL)

• In absence of Sri Lanka's biggest strength of the bowling unit, Wanindu Hasaranga, the responsibility was on Theekshana to pick up wickets in the middle-overs. His form makes the bowler a great pick for the game.
