SL vs AFG Live Prediction

2025-09-18 23:02:36

Sri Lanka Score Over 121.5 in 15 Overs @ 1.85 (1XBET)

Sri Lanka's score at the end of 10 overs is 82/2 at the drinks break. They are well on track to chase down the target of 170 runs. Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera are milking the doubles and finding boundaries easily, scoring 7-8 runs per over. We expect this pair to continue their scoring rate, and Sri Lanka's score to be over 121 runs at the end of 15 overs.

2025-09-18 22:11:44

Sri Lanka Score Over 47.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.83 (1XBET)

Sri Lanka are off to a flying start in their chase of 170 runs, scoring 9 runs in the first over. The surface has improved for batting as the game has progressed, and with both batsmen getting off the mark with a boundary, we can expect some early fireworks. We predict their score will be over 47 runs in 6 overs.

2025-09-18 20:53:59

Afghanistan Score Under 100.5 in 15 Overs @ 1.83 (1XBET)

Afghanistan's score at the end of 10 overs is 63/3. It has been a bit of a struggle for them as they haven't been able to score boundaries, and the Sri Lankan spinners are on top with their accurate bowling. We predict Afghanistan will lose one or two more wickets and their score will be under 100 runs in 15 overs.

2025-09-18 20:06:37

Afghanistan Score Over 47.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.85 (1XBET)

It looks like a good pitch to bat on, a new surface being used for the first time in this tournament. From the little we have seen of the surface, there is minimal movement and the ball is coming onto the bat nicely. We expect a solid start from Afghanistan and predict their score to be over 47 runs at the end of 6 overs.

2025-09-18 20:31:40

Thusara Cleans Up Sediqullah Atal

Bowled 'em! Nuwan Thushara is on fire! He's cleaned up Sediqullah Atal with a beautiful, late-swinging delivery. Atal went for the drive, but the ball sneaked right through the gap between bat and pad. The stumps are lit up, and Thushara is ecstatic. What a game-changing spell this is for Sri Lanka!

2025-09-18 20:16:50

Gurbaz Falls to Thushara's Slower Ball

And there it is, the breakthrough Sri Lanka desperately needed! Gurbaz's struggle for form continues. He tried to go big, but Nuwan Thushara outfoxed him with a clever change of pace. The ball takes the outside edge, and Kusal Perera takes a sharp catch at a fine-slip position. What a tactical move by Asalanka to place him there. A big wicket for Sri Lanka!

2025-09-18 20:15:00

Dushmanta Chameera Concedes 17 runs in his 1st Over

That's a powerful start for Afghanistan! Dushmantha Chameera is struggling with his line and length here. Sediqullah Atal has just unleashed a magnificent six, followed by a glorious boundary, showing some serious class. Gurbaz joins the party with a boundary of his own, and they're making it look effortless.

2025-09-18 20:03:27

Sri Lanka Make One Change to Their Playing XI

I would have done the same thing. We have spoken about our middle order batting, we have two in-form openers and that is an advantage for us. We have to improve our middle order batting, we want to execute than talking. We have one change - Wellalage for Theekshana - Charith Asalanka.

2025-09-18 20:02:42

Afghanistan Opt to Bat

We would like to bat first. Runs on the board is important on this wicket. It is a must-win game, we have to keep it simple and do the basics right. It is a new surface, we have played a lot in Abu Dhabi, 165+ is a good score. We have a couple of changes - Mujeeb and Rasooli come in for Ghazanfar and Naib - Rashid Khan.

We are in the most important stage of the league games in the Asia Cup 2025. Sri Lanka will be up against Afghanistan in the 11th game as they look to book a berth in the next round. Sri Lanka defeated Hong Kong in the last game and sits at the top of the points table. Afghanistan lost to Bangladesh in their last game, and it is a must-win game for the team to advance to the next round. 

Sri Lanka has played well in both games and registered comfortable wins. The openers have done well for the team, adding to their confidence. They will look to build on this momentum and reach the next round. The Afghans will be under pressure after losing the last game. They must strike form and it will be interesting how the team fares in this contest.

Sri Lanka Preview

Charith Asalanka's team has been clinical in the tournament. They have won both games and sit at the top of the points table. It was a comprehensive win for Hong Kong in the last game by 4 wickets. They will face a tougher challenge in this game, and Asalanka would like to see a strong performance from his players to enter the Super Fours with full confidence. 

Pathum Nissanka has batted well in both games, and he will look to deliver an electrifying start with Kusal Mendis. Kusal Perera will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Kamil Mishara and Dasun Shanaka. Charith Asalanka, Kamindu Mendis, and Wanindu Hasaranga add firepower to this batting lineup. 

The bowling attack did well in the last game. Dushmantha Chameera and Nuwan Thushara will look to strike early in the game and put the Afghans under pressure. Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga have used the conditions well and shall look to do the same in this game. Asalanka and Dasun Shanaka add to the team's bowling options.


SL Over/Under Betting Tips

Pathum Nissanka Total Runs Over 22.5 1.85

Bet now

Pathum Nissanka has scored 118 runs in 2 matches this Asia Cup, averaging 59. He is currently the leading run-scorer in the tournament and is in the best of form. Against Afghanistan, he has scored 139 runs in 6 matches, averaging 27.80. Given his current form, we back Nissanka to play another match-winning knock in today's match and score over 22 runs.

Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI:

Charith Asalanka (c), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kamil Mishara, Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara

Afghanistan Preview

Rashid Khan and his men lost to Bangladesh by 8 runs in the last game. The Afghan skipper will be upset with his team's batting efforts as they failed to chase a moderate total. It is a do-or-die game for the team. Rashid must lead from the front as the Sri Lankans will test them in this contest. 

Sediqullah Atal is in form, and he will look to lay a strong platform at the top with Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Ibrahim Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib add solidity to the batting, and they will look to build partnerships in the middle. The team expects runs in the death overs from Azmatullah Omarzai, Karim Janat, and Rashid Khan.  

The bowling attack is the strike weapon for the team and needs to deliver the goods. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Azmatullah Omarzai leaked runs in the last game, and the team expects a better show from them. Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi must do well in the middle overs. The team also expects a good show from AM Ghazanfar and Noor Ahmed.


AFG Over/Under Betting Tips

Rahmanullah Gurbaz Total Runs Over 19.5 1.85

Bet now

After a failure in the first match, Gurbaz scored 35 runs in 31 balls in the last match against Bangladesh. Overall in this tournament, Gurbaz has scored 43 runs in 2 matches, averaging 21.5. Against Sri Lanka, Gurbaz has scored 248 runs in 6 matches, averaging 41.33. That's some record, and we back him to come out on top in this must-win game for Afghanistan.

Afghanistan Predicted Playing XI:

Rashid Khan (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sediqullah Atal, Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat, Noor Ahmad, AM Ghazanfar, Fazalhaq Farooqi

Weather Conditions

There would be clear skies over Abu Dhabi. The fresh wicket will have something for the bowlers at the start, and batting conditions will be slightly challenging. The average first-innings score at this venue is 162 runs, and the team batting first would like to reach 180 runs on the board.

Total Match Score Over 309.5 1.75

Bet now

The average total match score in the last five Asia Cup matches played at Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is 290 runs. It has been a low scoring Asia Cup so far that has favoured the bowlers, while batters have to struggle hard to score runs. This is a crucnh game between these two teams and we expect an evenly balanced contest and predict the total match score to be over 309 runs.

We back Afghanistan to win the coin toss in the 11th match of Asia Cup 2025 against Sri Lanka.

Toss: To Bat

In the last ten games, the side chasing the score has won only three times at this venue. The pitch has been tough to bat on in the second innings when it slows down. Thus, the two skippers at the toss would not have doubts about batting first.

Afghanistan has pushed itself into a corner with a poor show in the last game. The side will need to overcome this loss and expects a better show from the batting lineup to win and qualify for the next round. The Sri Lankans look good with back-to-back wins. They have the top order in good form, giving them an edge.
