AFG vs SRI: Pitch Report
The MCA Stadium is widely recognized as a haven for batsmen. Historically, the pitch here has been consistent in supporting the batters, allowing them to confidently play their shots and score heavily. Even though only 8 ODIs have been played at this venue, the average score for the first inning stands at an impressive 301. The victories are evenly split, with teams batting first and second each winning four games. The record score at this venue is India's stunning 356/2 against England in 2017, while the lowest is 232, also by India, against Australia in 2013. Given the ground's history of producing big scores, the captain winning the toss might lean towards batting first, hoping to set a challenging target and put pressure on the chasing team.
AFG vs SRI: Head-To-Head ODI Record
In the 11 ODI encounters between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, the Islanders hold the upper hand with seven victories, compared to Afghanistan's three wins. One of their matches concluded without a result. When it comes to ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup face-offs, the teams have met twice, with Sri Lanka emerging victorious in both the 2015 and 2019 editions.
