Over 46. 2 runs. Bowler: Dushmantha Chameera. Afghanistan: 242/3(rr 5.26)

One run. Dushmantha Chameera to Azmatullah Omarzai. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket for 1 run, dropped catch by Asalanka. That's it! A comfortable victory for Afghanistan as they beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets with 28 balls to spare. Though losing the in-form batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the very first over of the chase, the next batters, Zadran and Rahmat played responsibly and developed an excellent partnership. Later, Hashmatullah and Omarzai carried the momentum throughout the chase. Farooqi is the Player of the Match. Cheers.
