The second most successful side in Asia Cup history with five titles, Sri Lanka get their campaign underway with a meeting against Afghanistan on Saturday. Both sides come into the tournament on the back of some impressive results.
The Lankan Lions tamed Australia in the five-match ODI series at home, followed by some impressive displays in the Test series against Pakistan. Similarly, Afghanistan beat Zimbabwe 3-0 in the ODI and T20I series but suffered a narrow 3-2 loss at the hands of Ireland most recently in T20Is.
Mohammad Nabi will be looking to rewrite history as the Afghans have never won the Asia Cup, while Sri Lanka, despite having dominated in the tournament come into this fixture having lost all five of their previous games in the competition.
“Conditions are very similar to Sri Lanka, I think we are well prepared, We are ready to play our best Cricket in this tournament” says @dasunshanaka1
