Afghanistan v Sri Lanka

Wisden's review of the 12th match, Afghanistan v Sri Lanka

Listless Sri Lanka missing spark on the field

Sri Lanka undoubtledly have high hopes for the World Cup, but that is not the impression they are giving off with lumbering efforts in the field. Perhaps the game against Afghanistan is the push they need to transform

Shenwari disappointed with batting slump

Sri Lanka were 51 for 4 and were teetering in chase of 233, but Afghanistan's inability to capitalise in their final few overs with the bat came back and prevented them from creating history

Mahela Jayawardene leads Sri Lanka to nervy win over Afghanistan

Mahela Jayawardene's century helped bail Sri Lanka out of trouble to beat a resolute Afghanistan by four wickets in their World Cup 2015 Pool A encounter in Dunedin on Sunday.
