One thing that I like about the Afghan team is that they have a well-organized domestic setup, where province-based teams compete. On the other hand, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh still depends a lot on club-based domestic cricket and it is restricted to the cities of Colombo and Dhaka respectively. And this ensures a regular supply of talent for the Afghan team, while Sri Lanka can't replace their experienced cricketers that easily. Anyway, they won the match yesterday thanks to Riaz Hassan. 276 was a tough target, but the opening partnership between Hassan and Zubaid Akbari gave them a good launching pad, that was used later by the middle order batsmen.
Yeah, Afghanistan domestic cricket setup is excellent. Sri Lanka A gave the big target of 275/7 to Afghanistan A team in 4th unofficial game. Nishan Madushka played a brilliant innings of 115 runs. Afghanistan A successful chased the total 276/6, Riaz Hassan make century and Zubaid Akbari played excellent inning of 68 runs help Afg A team to finish game. A brilliant spell by Bilal Sami takes 3 wickets overall excellent performance by team Afghanistan A in this game but Sri Lanka A team lead the series by 3-1.

Exactly...!Basically when a first partnership go well and make some good runs. It always help the rest of team and this encourage the rest of the team. And that's why Afghanistan A done a great job. If we look at the whole series so this was looking little bit difficult that Afghanistan will win this match but they make a good comeback. You mentioned Riaz Hassan and Zubaid Akbari they both played well. Afghanistan lost first wicket at 133 runs it means they both have made almost half runs of the target. And 277 runs target was really good but Afghanistan played well too and won the match. By the way match was really exciting.
I was not expecting that kind of performance from Afghanistan A team that was really great. I told in my previous post in this thread that we should not underestimate the Afghanistan A team they can make a good comeback so.they have done that. Srilanka played well and made 276 runs but Afghanistan A team was in good form and they tried well to chase the target until they chased the target and won the match. From Sri Lanka A team Nishan Madushka wqs good and he made a century and from Afghanistan A Riaz Hassan wqs good who also made a century. Excellent performance Afghanistan A congratulations on your win.

Great brother, today unofficial competition which has begun among Sri Lanka A sqaud against Afghanistan A sqaud and today this competition, fourth match was also successfully completed. This was the first victory of Afghanistan A sqaud in this competition and before this victory Afghanistan A squad already faced three defeat by Sri Lanka A sqaud and I was feeling like Afghanistan A squad would not get a victory in this competition and all 5 matches would be won by Sri Lanka A squad but Afghanistan A squad broke this streak by getting victory in today fight. Afghanistan A squad today achieved very big defeating target which was managed by Sri Lanka A sqaud total 275 scores off 50 overs. Afghanistan A sqaud faced many problems to achieve this target like big target, low quality performance in batting Inning and already lost 3 matches but at last, Afghanistan A squad emerged victorious with 2 balls and 4 batter wickets. I want to thank Riaz Hassan for his century which played a very crucial role in Afghanistan A squad victory today.

From Sri Lanka A Sonal Dinusha is playing at 73 runs from just 72 balls, and is very close to his well-deserved century.

Agreed! In any game, you have to stick to the end. The game can turn even before the end of the game. It is complicated to decide who will win or will not win until the end of the game. Although Sri Lanka won the last two matches due to the DLS system that is not the solution I think. So one can understand who is strong in the game, after watching the whole. As far as I think Afghanistan this team also plays very well. Hope today's game will be enjoyable.
So finally the match has been played. And as usual Sri Lanka A won the match easily. Afghanistan played first turn. And they collected only 185 runs with all team out. And that was not enough runs to make pressure on Srilanka A team. Here I appreciate the bowling of Mohamed Shiraz who collected 3 wickets. After that Srilanka A started their turn. When they lost 2 wickets at 27 runs. So I was thinking that it will make pressure on Srilanka team but there was Pasindu Sooriyabandara who played really well and he made 84 runs. One more interesting thing is that Mohammad Saleem collected 3 wickets. He was bowling well but unfortunately he bowled his overs means he completed his 10 overs. If he has more overs to bowl so he can turn the situation of the match. But unfortunately Afghanistan A lost the match.
Sri Lanka A was really good in bowling and batting and I was expecting that Sri Lanka will win this match. So as you mentioned everything. Afghanistan A batting line not good they need much practice more to come up. I also think 186 runs target was not a good target. Here we can say the bowling line of Sri Lankan A team is good because they out the whole team of Afghanistan A before 50 overs completion. Surprising thing was that SriLanka A team also lost 6 wickets. But Pasindu Sooriyabandara take over the match and he made 84 runs. And only his contribution led the team to win. And now they have played 3 matches of the series and two matches are left and the series is at 3-0. I hope Afghanistan will make a good comeback. So let's see.
you are right Sri Lanka A team outstanding batting and bowling performance in this series. In third odi Sri Lanka A team chase down the target 186 runs in a loss of 6 wickets in 37.5 over of the Match. Pasindu Sooriyabandara batting well scored 84 runs from 109 balls and remain unbeaten in the match. Afghanistan team lost the series due to disappointing performance in the match they all out in just 185 runs and Sri Lanka A easily chase the target.Agreed! In any game, you have to stick to the end.

In today's match of Afghanistan A team vs Sri Lanka A team, if Afghanistan A team could have batted responsibly, if they could have tried to play the whole over, it would have been very easy to win the match against Sri Lanka A team. If the Afghanistan team could have given the Sri Lanka team a target of 250 runs, then the Afghanistan team would have won today's match. The main reason why Afghanistan team lost today's match is their weak batting. Of course, if they could have focused their batting, if they could have batted responsibly, maybe Sri Lanka would have had a chance to win against this team. In Afghanistan, the Sri Lankan team did not have much problem to win after going down to bat against the target of 186 runs given by this team. Sri Lanka won very easily.

Yes you are right tomorrow is the third ODI Match between Sri Lanka A team and Afghanistan A team. And we saw that how Sri Lanka A team is good in their performance in both batting and bowling. They already won previous two matches. I also hope that Afghanistan team will make a comeback but chances are not good. I think again Sri Lanka A team will play well and can win this match again. I am saying that just due to their previous stats. They played really well in previous two matches so they can continue this performance. I also think Afghanistan will fight well but can't say that they will win the match.
Yes so finally today is the third unofficial ODI match between Srilanka A and Afghanistan A teams. The match will start almost in 2 hours. And we know that hpw Srilanka A performed in previous 2 matches. There were the rain inthe last two matches and we can't say anything that what will happen today. But I think there should not be rain today. So both teams will show their performance. And we will see that which is more strong. Because previous two matches Srilanka won the matches due to DLS method. I know Srilanka is good but if they will play the full 50 overs so this will show the clear performance. So let's see who will win. Agreed! In any game, you have to stick to the end. The game can turn even before the end of the game. It is complicated to decide who will win or will not win until the end of the game. Although Sri Lanka won the last two matches due to the DLS system that is not the solution I think.
