The last time when the Lankans meet Afghanistan, pacer Fazalhaq Farooq took four wickets that thrashed the batting unit of Sri Lanka. It's again the same opponent in the same group, and we may have a repeat telecast of that. Gurbaz batted brilliantly against SL in the last game. It's now time to see if Afghanistan can keep the winning momentum going or not.
