Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will lock horns against each other in the second ODI of the three-match series on February 11. The match will once again take place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium and it will be a day-night encounter commencing at 2:30 PM IST. Sri Lanka are leading the series 1-0 but will be highly disappointed with their effort as they allowed Afghanistan to claw back into the game.
Despite posting 381 runs and having the visitors reeling at 55/5, Sri Lanka had to be on their toes with Afghanistan coming back strongly. While they still won the game, the opposition team won hearts for the fight they showed. Nevertheless, expect yet another brilliant match between the two teams as the rivalry has now truly begun in ODIs.
Who will win today’s match? We will answer this question in this article next:
Sri Lanka Preview
Sri Lanka’s hero in the first ODI was Pathum Nissanka who smashed a brilliant double ton and batted through the innings too.
The hosts will know that they will have to play even better cricket for the course of 100 overs to beat this Afghanistan side who keep fighting. This is also a chance for the home side to seal the series in the second game itself.
Sri Lanka - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
After such a stunning opener, very few will ignore Nissanka in this aspect. No wonder, the opener has to be at his best again for Sri Lanka.
He scored 210* runs off 139 balls with 20 fours and eight sixes to his name. It was a special knock from Nissanka and certainly, the youngster will be looking to continue in the same vein and go big once again for his side.

Sri Lanka - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?
Dilshan Madhushanka was not at his best in the last game. But he is certainly one bowler who can run through opposition lineups.
He showed his skill in the World Cup and one off game doesn't make him a bad bowler. The left-arm pace bowler will be keen on making amends in the second ODI and pick wickets for Sri Lanka.

Afghanistan Preview
Afghanistan will head into the second ODI being aware of the fact that the series opener could’ve been worse for them. They will have to improve their bowling immensely on flat pitches and also the top-order batters will have to contribute.
The kind of knocks Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi played don’t come every day but the visitors will be confident of turning things around in the next game.
Afghanistan - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Ibrahim Zadran endured a failure when his team needed him the most in the mammoth chase. But the talented cricketer will certainly look to make amends and help Afghanistan level the series in the second encounter.
Zadran has played big knocks before especially against Sri Lanka and the opener will be looking forward to contributing more for his side.

Afghanistan - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?
Mohammad Nabi played a heroic knock in the last outing with the bat. He had also delivered the spell of 1/44 in his 10 overs with the ball in an innings where 381 runs were scored.
Nabi’s spell will be immensely important in the middle overs yet again with Rashid Khan unavailable. Nabi’s 10 overs will more or less decide if Afghanistan will be able to level the series or not.

SL Vs AFG - Who Will Be The Player Of The Match?
The aforementioned cricket betting tips will help you in determining the player of the match award winner in the second ODI. Ibrahim Zadran is the man for Afghanistan who can win the match for them and is the likely candidate to win the award.
SL Vs AFG - Who Will Win Today's Toss?
Our toss prediction for the second ODI between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan is that the team winning the toss will opt to bowl first. Ball comes on to the bat much better due to the dew effect and that was evident in the last game.
SL Vs AFG Venue, Pitch and Weather Report
Pallekele will host the second ODI as well and certainly, the pitch is expected to be a belter. Under the lights, the ball will swing but as the innings progresses, it will definitely get better to bat.
The cricket odds will be in Sri Lanka’s favour to start with even as the weather seems perfect for the cricket match to take place.
SL Vs AFG Match Winner Prediction
Afghanistan are expected to win the second ODI and level the series. The visitors came close despite being 55/5 at one stage which shows they can beat Sri Lanka who will be keen on levelling the series.
