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.
