SL vs AFG 1st ODI: Overview

Sri Lanka

Both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are currently battling in the bottom part of the One-Day International (ODI) World Cup Super League points table. With the forthcoming World Cup in mind, both teams would aim to earn critical wins in order to improve their position. The controversy surrounding Chamika Karunaratne has prevented Sri Lanka from naming a squad for the upcoming three-match One-Day International series against Afghanistan.

Pathum Nissanka has been the most successful batsman for Sri Lanka, the team that is playing host, in one-day internationals this year. In the year 2022, Nissanka has been responsible for 368 runs scored throughout 8 innings with an average of 46 and a striking percentage of 87.20. He also has one hundred and three fifty-run scores to his name.

This year, Charith Asalanka and Kusal Mendis, who keep wickets and bats, have both surpassed the 300-run mark in one-day internationals for Sri Lanka. In the same number of one-day international matches, Asalanka has scored 333 runs at an average of 47.57, whereas Kusal Mendis has scored 318 runs and averaged 53. In 2022,

Jeffrey Vanersay, who bowls leg break, has taken the most wickets for Sri Lanka in one-day internationals so far in 2018. He has 14 scalps to his name in 7 matches, and his economy rate has remained steady at 4.85. The loss of Chamika Karunratne, Sri Lanka’s second-highest wicket-taker in one-day internationals this year, would be a blow to the team.    

Afghanistan

The right-handed batsman Rahmat Shah has been Afghanistan’s leading run-scorer in one-day internationals so far in 2018. He has accumulated 484 runs over the course of 9 matches, averaging 53.77 runs per game, and has reached 50 four times. Hasmatullah Shahidi (317), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (276), and Najibullah Zadran (234) are the other players who have achieved this feat in one-day internationals so far in 2018.

In the bowling department, the spin king in limited overs, Rashid Khan, has the most wickets with 18 to his record in 9 matches. This puts him in the lead for the most wickets. In ODIs in the year 2022, Rashid has kept his economy at 4.07 runs per over.

This year, the left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi has collected 13 wickets while maintaining an economy rate of 4.69, and the right-arm pacers Fareed Ahmad and Mohammad Nabi have each collected 10 wickets. Spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman has also been successful in one-day internationals this year, taking 9 wickets in 9 matches.
