Top Picks – Sri Lanka

• Pathum Nissanka- the top order batter has pushed his ODI average up to 43.06 after his remarkable innings on Friday which included 28 boundaries. 
• Dushmantha Chameera- the experienced right-arm fast bowler dismissed the in-form pair of Rahmat Shah and Gulbaind Naib in the opening match of the series.

Top Picks – Afghanistan

• Ibrahim Zadran- the opener struggled against the new ball in Friday’s ODI but he will fancy his chances of making a big score if he can get through the early stages of the innings on Sunday.
• Fazalhaq Farooqi – The pace bowler produced the only maiden over from his side in the second ODI and was very accurate throughout the match.

SL vs AFG Probable Winners:

Following over 700 runs and nine wickets in Pallekele in the first ODI, we can expect another barrage of runs in the second game of the series on Sunday. Although Sri Lanka probably would not have won without Pathum Nissanka’s brilliant innings on Friday, they have several other very capable batters in their lineup, and we expect them to perform well in this match. We predict that Sri Lanka will win and go 2-0 up in the series. Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.
