Get to Know Who will win AFG vs SL match, T20 World Cup 2022 and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, Dream11 Prediction, Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage.
20 year old keeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz has hit five half-centuries in IT20s and the Afghanistan opener is our tip for their highest run scorer against Sri Lanka. With the ball, Rashid Khan has taken 311 international wickets and the spinner is well worth backing as Afghanistan’s top wicket taker in this game.
Pathum Nissanka has hit 137 runs in the tournament so far and the opener is a strong choice for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer in this match. Wanindu Hasaranga has taken wickets in five out of six matches in the competition and the spinner is our pick for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker against Afghanistan.
We recommend backing Wanindu Hasaranga to take over 1.5 wickets in this clash.

AFG vs SL Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2022
Afghanistan take on Sri Lanka in Match 21 of the 2022 T20 World Cup at the Gabba, Brisbane on Tuesday afternoon. Afghanistan have lost to England and had no-results against New Zealand and Ireland without a ball being bowled. Sri Lanka have won one and lost two matches in the second round. Read on as we preview this Group 1 clash. The Super 12 stage game begins at 14:00 local time.
Afghanistan fancied their chances against Ireland but saw the match washed out on Friday in Melbourne. This will be a tough game but Afghanistan will be raring to play after two successive abandonments.
Sri Lanka have been very unlucky with injuries and their pace bowling attack is not up to its usual standard. However, their spin bowlers have enough talent to beat any opposition when they get it right.

Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
AFG Team News
After successive games have been abandoned without a ball bowled, Afghanistan have not played in this competition since October 22nd. Although the wicket will be conducive to pace bowling, the Afghanistan spinners will also cause problems in this match.
AFG Key Players
Rahmanullah Gurbaz - The right handed opener has a top score of 87 in this format. He hit 84 against Sri Lanka at the start of September.
Mujeeb ur Rahman - The 21 year old off-spinner has taken 46 IT20 wickets at an average of 16.69. He dismissed Dawid Malan in the defeat to England.
Rashid Khan - The leg-spinner averages 14.23 with the ball in this format and has a strike-rate of 13.7. His best figures in IT20s are 5-3.
AFG Team Form
Afghanistan have lost their last four completed IT20s with their last win coming against Bangladesh in August.
Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Usman Ghani, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi (c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Fareed Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi
There was one change for Sri Lanka ahead of their defeat to New Zealand with the injured Binura Fernando replaced with Kasun Rajitha. With plenty of injuries across their squad, there are not many options left to make further changes to the XI.
SL Key Players
Pathum Nissanka - The right handed opener made a five ball duck in Sydney on Saturday but we expect him to enjoy the more batter friendly conditions in Brisbane.
Maheesh Theekshana - The 22 year old off-spinner has picked up at least one wicket in every game of this tournament. He dismissed Finn Allen in the first over against New Zealand.
Wanindu Hasaranga - With 10 wickets from his six appearances in the 2022 T20 World Cup, Hasaranga is the leading wicket taker in the T20 World Cup 2022.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka’s seven wicket defeat against Australia ended a run of three successive wins in this format.
This will be the third time that these teams have met this year after both sides won a match each during the 2022 Asia Cup. The team batting second has won every game between the teams.

Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
The bookmakers have Sri Lanka as strong favourites ahead of this clash in Brisbane. However, they are not completely ruling Afghanistan out of the contest.
After capturing the hearts and minds of many neutrals during the 2021 T20 World Cup, Afghanistan have not had much opportunity to show their skills. They need to put in their best performance in this game.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran and Najibullah Zadran are our tips to be the key batters for Afghanistan. Gurbaz has an IT20 strike-rate of 138.05 and his attacking nature has been recognised with the odds from the bookmakers. Najibullah Zadran has hit eight half-centuries in IT20s.
We are backing Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa with the bat for Sri Lanka. Mendis hit successive half-centuries earlier in the tournament and his odds to be Sri Lanka’s top batter reflect this. Rajapaksa hit 34 runs from 22 balls against New Zealand.
We recommend Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Fazalhaq Farooqi with the ball for Afghanistan. Khan has been the leader of Afghanistan’s attack for many years and the spinner often comes into games as the favourite to pick up the most wickets. Farooqi has taken 19 wickets from 15 games in this format.
Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana and Chamika Karunaratne are our bowling picks for Sri Lanka. Although Hasaranga can be expensive, he is always a wicket taking threat and the bookmakers know this. Karunaratne will enjoy the Gabba and took a wicket in the games against Ireland and Australia
Although Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are in sixth and fifth place in Group 1, they are both only one point behind the three teams in second, third and fourth. We are predicting an entertaining clash in Brisbane and are backing Sri Lanka to win this match.
