Both teams have played five matches, with two wins and three losses so far, and will be looking for a win to increase their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages.

Sri Lanka had a bad start with three defeats but has made a good comeback, winning two back-to-back games, including a win over defending champions England in their campaign.

Afghanistan has also sent shock waves across the tournament, with their two wins coming against Pakistan and England. This match-up is expected to be a great one between the mid-table teams.

Sri Lanka Squad: Strengths and Weaknesses

Sri Lanka, at the moment, has been drowning in its injury woes, which have ruled out a lot of their important players from the tournament so far. Adding salt to their wounds, pacer Lahiru Kumara, who was the player of the match in their last encounter against England, has been ruled out due to a left thigh muscle injury. Pacer Dushmantha Chameera has come in as his replacement. However, with veteran all-rounder Angelo Matthews coming back into the squad and pacers Dilshan Madushanka and Kusan Rajitha performing well, Sri Lanka can look at the bright side for a change. The Lankans still need their primary spinner, Maheesh Theekshana, to get back to his groove — he hasn't been that efficient in the tournament so far.

The batting is the only department where Sri Lanka has been performing quite well. Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama are in stellar form at the moment, giving solid stability to the squad with the bat. Skipper Kusal Mendis has also been in good touch so far in the middle order.

Afghanistan Squad: Strengths and Weaknesses

Afghanistan has shown a lot of maturity in the cricket it has played so far. They will be going into the match registering their highest successful ODI run chase with a stellar top-order batting performance against Pakistan. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz, along with Ibrahim Zadran, supported by skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmat Shah in the middle, have all been bankable with their batting.

In their bowling department, they just need pacers Naveen-ul-Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi to pick some early wickets with the new ball. This will allow the quality Afghan spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to clean up the rest of the opposition in the middle overs.
