SL vs AFG LIVE Score, 3rd ODI: Afghanistan have won the toss and have opted to bat first in series-deciding match. Sri Lanka and Afghanistan square off in the third and final fixture of the three-match ODI series on Sunday, June 7th, at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota. After losing the first ODI, Sri Lanka returned with the necessary players, including Wanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera, who had an immediate effect and helped Sri Lanka win the second game and tie the series. The target for both sides at this point will be to win the series and claim the trophy. 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka roars back to form with a stunning victory over 🇦🇫 Afghanistan, winning by a massive 132 runs! 🏏🔥 The Sri Lankan batters stepped up when the series was on the line and amassed a total of over 300, while the bowlers persisted in their mission to prevent Afghanistan from achieving the target. After a strong start from Nissanka and Karunaratne, Mendis grew on it to form partnerships with other batters. Hasaranga and Shanaka, who were farther down the line, made sure they ended strong with a flurry. A number of issues were exposed by Afghanistan’s lacklustre bowling performance, and the absence of the ace bowler from the team. These are issues that Afghanistan has to solve in this game. Almost every bowler averaged more than 6 runs per over. Gurbaz once again departed early and let the crowd down as Afghanistan failed to exert enough pressure on the Sri Lankan bowler...

Nabi reviews instantly. This one was a good length on off, nipping in. It goes past the inside edge and strikes the front pad on middle and leg. The question is both of height, and whether this is clipping leg. And yes, it's the most marginal off calls, as this is shown to be barely clipping the top of leg stump. Worthwhile review, but N...

Right then, that is it from this game. Afghanistan take a 1-0 lead in the series and the Lankans will be eager to get back to level terms in the next game. The 2nd ODI will be played on 4th June, Sunday at 10 am IST (4.30 am GMT), but as you know you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, Cheers and Goodbye! Hashmatullah Shahidi, the victorious skipper of Afghanistan says that it feels really well to end up on the winning side and the team performed really well. He adds that after early wickets DDS and Asalanka batted well but the team recovered well and broke the partnership when it was needed the most. He adds that the bowlers were really good today and the bowling at depth overs was crucial in restricting the opponents to such a total. He also adds that Ibrahim Zadran is a match-winner and the team has the utmost confidence in him, so it feels happy that he is rewarded for his hard work and the team won. Dasun Shanaka, the captain of Sri Lanka says that the plan was to play positive cricket but to lose four wicket upfront was not ideal. Adds that this wicket played very well and a total of 300 or more would have been par here. Tells that he feels they could have got more runs and bowled well too but the injury of Lahiru Kumara was a setback. Mentions that Matheesha Pathirana is coming from the Indian T20 League to international cricket which is not an easy task but they will stick with him as they want to have a look at him before the qualifiers.
