AFG vs SL: Sri Lanka made this shameful record after defeat against Afghanistan
AFG vs SL: The Sri Lankan team had to face a shameful defeat at the hands of Afghanistan on the ground of Pune. With this defeat, Sri Lanka’s hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup 2023 have also suffered a huge blow. Against Afghanistan, neither the Sri Lankan batsmen appeared in form nor the team’s bowlers could show anything amazing.
AFG vs SL: Sri Lanka became the worst team :-
Sri Lanka had to face its 43rd defeat against Afghanistan in the ODI World Cup. Now Sri Lanka has also become the team that has lost the most matches in the World Cup. The Sri Lankan team has also left Zimbabwe behind in this matter. Zimbabwe has lost a total of 42 matches in the World Cup. At the same time, England is at third position after losing 37 matches and Pakistan is at fourth position after losing 36 matches.
Sri Lanka’s batting order was a flop :-
Sri Lanka, who came to bat first after losing the toss, did not have a good start and Dimuth Karunaratne was out after scoring just 15 runs. After this, Pathum Nishanka along with captain Kushal Mendis made a half-century partnership for the second wicket. After the dismissal of Samarawickrama, Sri Lanka’s batting order fell apart like a pack of cards and the entire team was reduced to 241 runs. This is Sri Lanka’s fourth defeat in the sixth match.
Bowlers also flopped :-
After the flop show of the batsmen, even the Sri Lankan bowlers could not show anything special. Madhushanka gave Gurbaz hope by showing him the way to the pavilion without opening the account, but he could not get the support of the other bowlers. This was the reason why Afghanistan easily achieved the target of 242 runs by losing only 3 wickets in 45.2 overs.
