Sri Lanka chase unbeaten run while Afghans battle for survival
The Island
|September 18, 2025
Charith Asalanaka's side is almost through to the second round of Asia Cup and they would want to end the first round on a winning note. They play Afghanistan today in Abu Dhabi
Heading into the last game of Group 'B' in the Asia Cup, former champions Sri Lanka are not under the pump, having ticked off both their fixtures so far. Along with India, they remain one of only two unbeaten sides in the competition.
The Sri Lankans don't need to win today's clash against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi, but they will want to march into the next round with a clean slate and more importantly, keep nudging their way up the global rankings, which remains very much a work in progress.
