Today in unofficial tournament which was played between Afghanistan A and Sri Lanka A. Afghanistan won the toss and elected batting. Afghanistan batsman makes 6 run in 2 over and Sri Lanka bowler no any wicket against Afghanistan batsman. This is no good started for Afghanistan batsman. Sri Lanka bowler out the Sri Lanka batsman in the fourth ball of the 3 over. This is the first achievement for Sri Lanka bowler. Once time again Sri Lanka bowler out the Afghanistan batsman in the first ball of the 9 over. This is the second achievement for Sri Lanka bowler. Afghanistan batsman makes 63 run in 10 over and 3 outs. Afghanistan batsman are working hard and struggle and make run. Afghanistan batsman makes 185 run in 28 over and 10 outs. This is the target for Sri Lanka batsman. Sri Lanka batsman can complete this target and won the match.

In today's match of Afghanistan A team vs Sri Lanka A team, if Afghanistan A team could have batted responsibly, if they could have tried to play the whole over, it would have been very easy to win the match against Sri Lanka A team. If the Afghanistan team could have given the Sri Lanka team a target of 250 runs, then the Afghanistan team would have won today's match. The main reason why Afghanistan team lost today's match is their weak batting. Of course, if they could have focused their batting, if they could have batted responsibly, maybe Sri Lanka would have had a chance to win against this team. In Afghanistan, the Sri Lankan team did not have much problem to win after going down to bat against the target of 186 runs given by this team. Sri Lanka won very easily.

Agreed! In any game, you have to stick to the end. The game can turn even before the end of the game. It is complicated to decide who will win or will not win until the end of the game. Although Sri Lanka won the last two matches due to the DLS system that is not the solution I think. So one can understand who is strong in the game, after watching the whole. As far as I think Afghanistan this team also plays very well. Hope today's game will be enjoyable.

So finally the match has been played. And as usual Sri Lanka A won the match easily. Afghanistan played first turn. And they collected only 185 runs with all team out. And that was not enough runs to make pressure on Srilanka A team. Here I appreciate the bowling of Mohamed Shiraz who collected 3 wickets.
After that Srilanka A started their turn. When they lost 2 wickets at 27 runs. So I was thinking that it will make pressure on Srilanka team but there was Pasindu Sooriyabandara who played really well and he made 84 runs. One more interesting thing is that Mohammad Saleem collected 3 wickets. He was bowling well but unfortunately he bowled his overs means he completed his 10 overs. If he has more overs to bowl so he can turn the situation of the match. But unfortunately Afghanistan A lost the match.

Sri Lanka A was really good in bowling and batting and I was expecting that Sri Lanka will win this match. So as you mentioned everything. Afghanistan A batting line not good they need much practice more to come up. I also think 186 runs target was not a good target. Here we can say the bowling line of Sri Lankan A team is good because they out the whole team of Afghanistan A before 50 overs completion. Surprising thing was that SriLanka A team also lost 6 wickets. But Pasindu Sooriyabandara take over the match and he made 84 runs. And only his contribution led the team to win. And now they have played 3 matches of the series and two matches are left and the series is at 3-0. I hope Afghanistan will make a good comeback. So let's see.

you are right Sri Lanka A team outstanding batting and bowling performance in this series. In third odi Sri Lanka A team chase down the target 186 runs in a loss of 6 wickets in 37.5 over of the Match. Pasindu Sooriyabandara batting well scored 84 runs from 109 balls and remain unbeaten in the match. Afghanistan team lost the series due to disappointing performance in the match they all out in just 185 runs and Sri Lanka A easily chase the target.

The Sri Lanka bowlers bowled very well from the start with aggressive bowling due to which the Afghanistan batsmen could not score a good run as the Afghanistan team was bowled out for just 186 runs. Afghanistan's batsmen should have batted responsibly as they came to play against Sri Lanka, Afghanistan's batsmen should have performed responsibly to win against Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan bowlers and batsmen gave a responsible performance against Afghanistan due to which Sri Lankan team did not have much problem to win against Afghanistan. The Sri Lankan team got off to a great start after going into bat against a target of 167 runs given by Afghanistan and won very easily. If Afghanistan's batsmen could have played the entire over, they could have given a big target to the Sri Lankan team. If Afghanistan's bowlers could have attacked, the game would certainly have been contested.

Fourth match between Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A has started at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota. Afghanistan won the toss and asked Sri Lanka to bat first. At this moment, Kamil Mishara and Nishan Madushka are at the crease, facing the pace duo of Naveed Zadran and Bilal Sami. Minod Bhanuka got out in the third over to Sami. Sri Lanka has already won the series and they are leading by 3-0. So even if Afghanistan wins the remaining two matches, they would still be unable to win the series.

Afghanistan A won the toss and decided to bowl first, Sri Lanka A batting well current score is 244 runs in a loss of 6 wickets in 44 overs of the first inning. From Sri Lanka A Sonal Dinusha is playing at 73 runs from just 72 balls, and is very close to his well-deserved century. Afghanistan A bowling performance is outstanding especially the bowling of Qais Ahmad who picked 3 important wickets by just giving 62 runs. Sri Lanka A team has more chance of winning this Match.

Afghanistan batsmen have performed very well in today's match.  Their batsmen scored runs in the match with great effort and struggle and won the match.  Sri Lankan batsmen did not give any special target.  But their bowlers could have won the match if they bowled with efficiency.  But fate also did not support them.  If their bats had given a target of 290, they could have won the match.  In today's match, the Afghanistan team has played very well both in terms of batting and bowling.Sri Lanka should focus on their bowling so that they can perform well in the next matches.  And congratulations to Afghanistan on the win.In today's match Afghanistan team has played the match with interest due to which they won the match.  If they had performed as before, they would have lost this match too.

Great brother, today unofficial competition which has begun among Sri Lanka A sqaud against Afghanistan A sqaud and today this competition, fourth match was also successfully completed. This was the first victory of Afghanistan A sqaud in this competition and before this victory Afghanistan A squad already faced three defeat by Sri Lanka A sqaud and I was feeling like Afghanistan A squad would not get a victory in this competition and all 5 matches would be won by Sri Lanka A squad but Afghanistan A squad broke this streak by getting victory in today fight. Afghanistan A squad today achieved very big defeating target which was managed by Sri Lanka A sqaud total 275 scores off 50 overs. Afghanistan A sqaud faced many problems to achieve this target like big target, low quality performance in batting Inning and already lost 3 matches but at last, Afghanistan A squad emerged victorious with 2 balls and 4 batter wickets. I want to thank Riaz Hassan for his century which played a very crucial role in Afghanistan A squad victory today.

I was not expecting that kind of performance from Afghanistan A team that was really great. I told in my previous post in this thread that we should not underestimate the Afghanistan A team they can make a good comeback so.they have done that. Srilanka played well and made 276 runs but Afghanistan A team was in good form and they tried well to chase the target until they chased the target and won the match. From Sri Lanka A team Nishan Madushka wqs good and he made a century and from Afghanistan A Riaz Hassan wqs good who also made a century. Excellent performance Afghanistan A congratulations on your win.

One thing that I like about the Afghan team is that they have a well-organized domestic setup, where province-based teams compete. On the other hand, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh still depends a lot on club-based domestic cricket and it is restricted to the cities of Colombo and Dhaka respectively. And this ensures a regular supply of talent for the Afghan team, while Sri Lanka can't replace their experienced cricketers that easily. Anyway, they won the match yesterday thanks to Riaz Hassan. 276 was a tough target, but the opening partnership between Hassan and Zubaid Akbari gave them a good launching pad, that was used later by the middle order batsmen.

Exactly...!
Basically when a first partnership go well and make some good runs. It always help the rest of team and this encourage the rest of the team. And that's why Afghanistan A done a great job. If we look at the whole series so this was looking little bit difficult that Afghanistan will win this match but they make a good comeback. You mentioned Riaz Hassan and Zubaid Akbari they both played well. Afghanistan lost first wicket at 133 runs it means they both have made almost half runs of the target. And 277 runs target was really good but Afghanistan played well too and won the match. By the way match was really exciting.

Yeah, Afghanistan domestic cricket setup is excellent. Sri Lanka A gave the big target of 275/7 to Afghanistan A team in 4th unofficial game. Nishan Madushka played a brilliant innings of 115 runs. Afghanistan A successful chased the total 276/6, Riaz Hassan make century and Zubaid Akbari played excellent inning of 68 runs help Afg A team to finish game. A brilliant spell by Bilal Sami takes 3 wickets overall excellent performance by team Afghanistan A in this game but Sri Lanka A team lead the series by 3-1.

I think we have to give credit to Afghanistan for actually being able to have a good setup in the domestic side of cricket even though they have so many problems in the country. We can say that Afghanistan is literally a war-torn country. And still, they have been able to do well in cricket and they are also improving in other aspects as well. I have seen that they are trying to make many innovations as well. But anyway let’s stick to cricket. This was a good result for Afghanistan. I understand that the Sri Lanka A team is leading in the series. But still watching Afghanistan A team get a win against such a team is definitely really incredible to see and also this is an indicator of how good the future of Afghanistan cricket might be.

Sri Lanka A vs Afghanistan A 5th ODI Match

We know that the series is at 3-1. And Srilanka A already won the first three matches mean they have won the series. They were dominant but in the previous match means in 4th ODI Match Afghanistan A made a great comeback and took revenge of previous 3 matches. So in 2 hours the 5th ODI match will be played and I think Afghanistan A team will perform well like they performed in the previous match. And we can't predict about today match because due to winning of Afghanistan in the last match. Both teams are looking at same position so its really hard to predict so let's see who will win today match.

The Sri Lanka team showed great interest in this series and they won this series with a lot of hard work and struggle.  They have achieve great success.  If Afghanistan play the match entertainingly then they will definitely win the match.  If they have perform well in three matches then they will lose these matches.  They should do well if they make a comeback it will be good for them and for us too.  Sri Lanka did not perform well in this match.  Their batsmen only set a target of 197 in 50 overs which was very easy and Afghanistan batsmen won the match.A target of 250 could have been made if the Sri Lanka batsmen had a bit more courage and it could have been very difficult for Afghanistan. But luck did not support them and they lost the match.
