Full commentary

Feelings of relief in the Sri Lanka camp, they're not celebrating too hard at all. Afghanistan bitterly disappointed, they really feel they should have batted better. Match referee Aminul Islam of Bangladesh and the ACC says "we saw some world-class catches today, and some excellent bowling overall the player who had the most influence on the match is Tharindu Kaushal of Sri Lanka and he is the Man of the Match."

Aftab Alam to Madushanka, 1 run

Full-pitched and hit over the top, Sri Lanka won by four wickets. A hard-fought game, Afghanistan about 50 runs short but they did well in the field, and will take quite a bit of confidence into their coming matches. Sri Lanka will feel they have plenty to improve on but in Tharindu Kaushal they have a serious prospect.
