SL vs AFG Match Preview:
With two wins in as many games and a positive net run-rate, Sri Lanka are all but assured of a place in the Super 4s. Even if they lose the upcoming match against Afghanistan, they can qualify for the next round if they avoid a heavy defeat.
However, the Islanders will be eager to keep their fate in their own hands and would be eyeing a victory to storm into the Super 4s with a hundred percent record. They began their campaign with a six-wicket win over Bangladesh before beating Hong Kong by four wickets.

Sri Lanka had a few close calls against Hong Kong and will be cautious of a similar performance against Afghanistan. They are still in a strong position to progress to the Super 4s and just need to avoid an all-time thrashing to make it to the next round.
For Afghanistan, the equation is clear - win or go home. They have the best net run-rate in the group and need a win to make it to the next round. They began their campaign with an impressive 94-run win over Hong Kong before suffering a close 8-run defeat against Bangladesh.
The defeat has put them in a do-or-die situation. Most of Afghanistan's batsmen have struggled to make an impact in the first two games and will be desperate to do well in the crucial clash.
