But both the batters perished early along with Karim Janat, who was promoted up the order. Ibrahim Zadran (24) tried to hold the fort but Sri Lanka kept taking wickets at regular intervals, leaving Afghanistan at 114/7. It was then that Mohammad Nabi (60) oozed his class and slammed a vital fifty including five sixes in the last over. 

Skipper Rashid Khan (24) played his part as Afghanistan posted 169/8, which at one moment seemed impossible. For Sri Lanka, Nuwan Thushara picked four wickets. 

In the chase, Sri Lanka lost in-form opener Pathum Nissanka early. Soon after him, Kamil Mishara also perished as the Island Nation lost two key wickets inside power play. However, Kusal Mendis (74*) at one end played a stellar innings and kept putting Afghanistan under pressure. 

Kusal Perera (28) supported him well as the duo added 45 runs for the third wicket before spinners brought Afghanistan back in the game. But the brilliance of Mendis was too much for them to handle. Kamindu Mendis (26*) also played his part as Sri Lanka chased the target with six wickets in hand.
