ICC T20 World Cup 2022: Wanindu Hasaranga, Dhananjaya de Silva Shine as Sri Lanka Beat Afghanistan By Six Wickets in Super 12 Group 1 Clash
After going through heavy defeats in their last two games, Sri Lanka bring back their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign back on track by securing a convincing victory over Afghanistan by six wickets at the Gabba in Brisbane on Tuesday, November 1.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Afghanistan had a stable start as they moved to 42-0 at the end of the powerplay. But since the powerplay ended, the Afghan innings could never gather enough momentum as they kept losing wickets at regular interval and could only post a total of 144-8. Openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz was the highest scorer with a 24-ball 28. Wanindu Hasaranga, who was expensive in the last two games, bowled a really good spell in this game and was the pick of the bowlers (3-13). Sri Lanka had a shaky start to the chase, but they quickly started dictating terms thanks to a 42-ball 66 from Dhananjaya de Silva. The Afghan spinners tried to put on their stranglehold but except Rashid Khan (2-31) and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (2-24), nobody could make an impact.
