Sri Lankan bowlers delivered a superb bowling performance to restrict Afghanistan to 144/8 following Wanindu Hasaranga`s three-wicket haul at the Gabba in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Opting to bat first, the Afghan inning started cautiously with openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Usman Ghani seeing off the new ball. Gurbaz sensed the need to score runs and took the initiative to attack the Sri Lankan bowlers.
Gurbaz danced down the wicket in the third over to launch a flat six off Kasun Rajitha. The batter continued to break free as he smashed another boundary in the next over with Ghai also sending one to the boundary. Two more boundaries followed in the next over to give the Afghan inning much-needed momentum. Afghanistan ended their powerplay for 42-0, registering a decent score in the first six over.
