That is it then from this game and also from the warm-up matches. Next up is the mega event every cricket fan has been waiting for. The 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup kicks off on Thursday the 5th of October with a blockbuster clash between the two previous finalists. Reigning champions England take on New Zealand at the Narendra Modi International Stadium in Ahmedabad and that match will begin at 2 pm IST (8.30 am GMT) but our build-up will begin a lot sooner. Do join us then and until then, take care and goodbye.
Sri Lanka will be fairly disappointed with that performance as yet again they have fallen short against against an Asian rival and the injuries to key players is really holding them back. There have been a few bright spots but they will need to pull up their socks to go deep in the main event.
What a victory for Afghanistan! A couple of stellar batting performances from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rahmat Shah and that was enough for them to clinch a big victory against Sri Lanka. Gurbaz was fantastic at the top and scored a century whereas Shah also got into the 90s. This victory will certainly give them a lot of confidence going into the main tournament.
