Sri Lanka are set to host Afghanistan for a three-match One-day International series with a number of IPL stars returning for national duties.
The first game of the series will be played on June 2 at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota.
Sri Lanka’s performance in the 50-over format has not been up to the mark in recent times. In their last ODI series in New Zealand, the Dasun Shanaka-led side suffered a 2-0 defeat. Ahead of that New Zealand tour, Sri Lanka suffered a 3-0 clean sweep at the hands of India.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, have improved significantly in the limited-over formats. Their last 50-over assignment was against Sri Lanka and the Afghan brigade drew the series 1-1. In a following T20I series against Pakistan, Afghanistan were able to stun their neighbouring country by winning the three-match series 2-1. Afghanistan will aim to continue the winning momentum against Sri Lanka and make the most out of the away series.
