On August 27th, these two teams will face off in the 1st Match of the Asia Cup, 2022 in Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
The much-anticipated Asia Cup 2022 has arrived. The tournament’s 15th edition will feature T20I matches. Sri Lanka has won the Asia Cup five times, ranking second only to India in the tournament’s history. They are in a transitional period right now, but they have shown great fighting spirit during this difficult time.
Sri Lanka has some outstanding young cricketers in their ranks who can cause problems for any team on their day. They come into this tournament off the back of two hard-fought Test series draws against Australia and Pakistan. They played T20Is and ODIs against Australia, winning the series in the ODIs but struggling in the shorter format. Sri Lanka has some talented players, but they will need to perform at their best to advance in this tournament.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, has recently played Zimbabwe and Ireland. They won the ODI and T20I series against Zimbabwe, but they were defeated in the five-match T20I series against Ireland. Although they lost to Ireland, they did come back to tie the series at 2-2 before losing the final game. They appear to be a strong side in this format, as the majority of the players have been playing T20 cricket in various leagues around the world. They will be hoping to play their best cricket and begin their tournament with a victory.
