Sri Lanka should be confident of gunning the total down. Let's find out shortly if Afghanistan allow them to. Madushka should be back soon with the reply.
3:42pm Superb spell from Hasaranga and it limits Afghanistan towards the end. He was ably assisted by Kumara and some good death-overs bowling by Rajitha as well. Afghanistan have a lot of cause to be disappointed. They were 68 for 1 at the halfway stage in the innings but couldn't really find the tall finish they would have liked. How glad will Sri Lanka with be with their bowling performance, despite not always getting the fielders' support.
Here's Rahmanullah Gurbaz: "We didn't play the last two games because of rain. It is not in our control and our focus was on this game. The score is good, not too bad. [Pitch] It is little but slow, good for the spinners. It was seaming with the new ball and then the spinners did well. Hopefully our bowling side does well. Bigger boundaries are a good sign for us, hopefully we get some early wickets and put some pressure on them."
