Nissanka : Wow! A double centurion from Sri Lanka after what feels like an eternity. What a knock! Afghanistan bowling keeps going down the drain recently. Nabi is playing a gem of an innings both with the bat and ball.
On the other hand, Omarzai is supporting him very nicely. I still feel that Afghanistan will come slightly close and lose. Great fightback!
I was very surprised by Sri Lanka's batting today. This team has collected 381 runs today. We have not seen such great batting from Sri Lankan players for a long time.
Pathum Nissanka remained unbeaten with 210 runs off 139 balls. We haven't seen such great batting in a long time. He batted very well. After giving such a big target, Sri Lanka had no chance of defeat. On the other hand, Afghanistan's top order batted very poorly. Afghanistan team lost 5 wickets for only 55 runs. However, Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi's responsible batting helped Afghanistan collect big. Omarzai was unbeaten on 142 off 113 balls. And Mohammad Nabi scored 136 runs off 130 balls. Afghanistan managed to collect 339 runs in 50 overs.
