Aghanistan won the toss and elected to bat first against Sri Lanka in the third match of Asia Cup at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
After losing their opening match of the tournament to a young Bangladesh side, Sri Lanka will be looking to bounce back in order to stay in the tournament.
Bangladesh crushed Sri Lanka by 137 runs after the Lankans were bowled out for 124 runs in 35.2 overs, in the chase of 262 runs.
One more loss and Sri Lankan will be out of the tournament. Meanwhile, tenth-ranked Afghanistan who has had an impressive run in 2018 so far, will be looking to start the tournament on a winning note.
This year’s Asia Cup features India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Hong Kong.
