Brilliant balling by sirlanka they easily crushed Afghanistan batting lineup specially middle and Lower order batsmen.  Good job done by sirlanka they worked really hard for this victory,  series leveled by 1-1 .
Now next Match will be the deciding one for both teams who will win the series .

Today Sri Lanka shows that he not lost their foam and they were too good with bat and bowl. This was must need win for Srilanka. SL learned lesson from their previous match. Sl performance was appreciable a it looked like it was a completely different team. First they give a three hundred plus score and put pressure on Afghanistan. All batsmen made some scores but kusal was outstanding with the bat. top 4 contribution was 200 runs which make it easy for rest to score 300 plus.

No Afghanistan batsmen able to score except three players Zadran, shahidi and Rahmat. Muhammad Nabi is out of form and didn't scored in last two matches. Credit goes to SL bowlers especially de silva for picking main wickets. one match still to be played and both will be looking to win this series.
In 2nd ODI Sri Lanka beat Afghanistan by 132 runs and level the series 1-1. This comprehensive victory was a much-needed boost for the team. The lessons learned from the previous match were put into practice, resulting in an impressive performance. The batsmen especially Kusal played exceptionally well contributing to a formidable total of 323 runs. The bowlers led by Dhananjaya de Silva displayed great skill and picked up crucial wickets restricting Afghanistan scoring opportunities. With the series now level, both teams will be eager to secure a win in the final match. Congratulations to The player of the match is Dhananjaya de Silva for his amazing allround performance pick 3 important wickets and scored 29 runs not out.
What a brilliant comeback by Sri Lanka! In the second ODI Sri Lanka team played technically and showed their class in all departments of the game. Although Afghanistan started off slowly with their batting, they eventually collapsed. Therefore, Sri Lanka won by 132 runs, and this win has now leveled the series. Now all the eyes are on the final game. With the way Sri Lanka performed in this match, it wouldn't be surprising if they ultimately win the series.

After losing the first match by six wickets, Sri Lanka got off to a good start in the second ODI. The top four batsmen have been able to score good runs so far. Batting at a run rate of 5.33, Sri Lanka has managed to score 192 runs in 36 overs so far. Their batting looks like they will be able to score big against Afghanistan today. 
As it is a three match ODI series Sri Lanka must win this match because if Sri Lanka lose this match for any reason then they will lose the series against Afghanistan. 300 plus runs will be very difficult for Afghanistan to win. Now let's see if Sri Lanka manage to score 300 plus runs against Afghanistan's strong bowling line-up.
Sri Lanka lost their 1st ODI match against Afghanistan at their home ground. Afghanistan's batting performance was excellent due to which they won by more runs. But the way Sri Lanka is batting in today's match, they must have collected a big score. At the end of the game they must score 300 plus Sri Lankan batsmen are batting brilliantly due to which their run rate is increasing rapidly. In today's match, Sri Lanka are collecting runs and will definitely be a big score for them to win. And if you score 300+ runs it will be very difficult for Afghanistan and I think it will not be possible for Afghans to score so many runs. and Sri Lanka will try hard enough to win the match they must win this match otherwise they will lose this series. Sri Lanka's score today is certainly unlikely for Afghanistan to win many runs.
The match is getting tougher for Afghanistan as the overs go on. When Afghanistan came to bat with a target of 324 runs, Afghanistan lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz early on and suffered a big blow in batting. So far has managed to collect 110 runs by losing two wickets. Afghanistan are now batting at four plus current run rate but Afghanistan need to score 8+ runs per over to win. If this wicket pair can form a good partnership then the two teams will have almost equal chances of winning but if Sri Lanka can pick up some quick wickets then it will be much easier for Sri Lanka to win this match.
I would not say that Afghanistan suffered a major blow by losing the wicket of Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is not in good form. Even his performance in IPL was very bad. However, it is much more difficult to win by batting at a target of 324 runs. It seems unlikely that Afghanistan will win to bat at such a big target. Yet they continued to try.
Afghanistan collected only 140 runs at the end of 30 overs. They can't collect an average of 5 runs per over. But Afghanistan lost only two wickets. They need 184 runs in 20 overs. They need to score more than 9 per over to win.
Although Rahmanullah Gurbaz was not in form, the game became very chaotic when one of the opening pair got out early in the game. Same thing happened with Afghanistan as they failed to bowl economically against Sri Lanka today then Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out early to bat which put a lot of batting pressure on Afghanistan and were bowled out for just 191 runs against Sri Lanka. That means Sri Lanka won this match by 132 runs. Sri Lanka returned to a 1-1 tie in the series by winning this match.
The third and final ODI match is a life-and-death battle for both the teams as the losers in the final match will be denied the series win.

After watching the performance of Afghanistan in the first match, I don't think the performance of Afghanistan's batsmen will be so bad in this match. They played very badly. Afghanistan was defeated by a huge margin of 132 runs. Despite the pitch being batting-friendly, Afghanistan did not play well. The bowling of the Sri Lankan bowlers was very controlled. Hasaranga and Dhananjaya de Silva in particular bowled well. Each managed to pick up three wickets.

UAE vs West Indies
UAE won the toss and put into bat and scored 53 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 12 overs. Their opening batting failed, Mohammad Wasim was dismissed for 0 runs from 2 balls, Aryansh Sharma was dismissed for 5 runs from 5 balls. Ramiz Shahzad was hurt after scoring 12 runs off 25 balls. Vriitya Aravind is unbeaten with 20 runs off 40 balls. UAE is under a lot of pressure as the wicket falls first. West Indies are bowling very well. Today's game West Indies will perform well and I think West Indies can win today.

Not watching a match live but placed a bet on Afghanistan anyway, odds were too good to ignore at @14.50.

Not expecting much from Afghanistan as a target is quite high, which is above par and the longer the format becomes it gets tough for a team like Afghanistan despite their t-20 bravado.
You got overconfident with the performance of Afghan boys bro! The series is being played in Srilanka. Rest assured they will win the series  unless Afghanistan does something incredible. This time Afghan bowlers were hammered heavily. This time the openers did what they are supposed to do, give a good start. You can expect the same result in the final match too.

Dont know why you placed a bet on Afghanistan at the time when they need 212 runs on 150 balls with 8 wickets left. Afghanistan won the first ODI, but everyday is not Sunday. Today Srilanka came well prepared and they have given a target of 324 runs after winning the toss. The required RR is 14.5 at the moment and its not the best moment to bet on Afghanistan. But if Afghanistan win then surely you will big win. Good luck.   

Maybe he place the bet before the start of the match and tried his luck. When you get 14 Odds and you know a team has done upset before, its worth taking the risk with a small amount. I would recommend to again bet on Afghanistan for the last match and maybe they can upset and win the series this time.

In today's match, Srilanka scored above 300 runs and it was game over for the Afghanistan team. There was no way in the world that Afghanistan can chase this big total. Kusal Mendis scored 78 runs while Dimuth Karunaratne scored 52 runs. These Srilankan batsmen made sure they win and level the series.

I knew it was a bad call but once in a while, it's fine due to juicy odds as you never know what will be the final outcome and in such a scenario these kinds of calls pay off really well.

Also is this some random ODI bilateral series or it has some merits related to WC qualifications?

Afghanistan already have qualified for ODI world cup while Srilanka will play the qualifying round to make it to ODI world cup. This is just a bilateral series and have no effect on ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League – Standings.

As I said earlier, SL came well prepred for todays game after giving a target of 323 runs they never allowed Afghan batsmen to score runs. Ibrahim Zadran and Hashmatullah Shahidi scored fifties but not in accordance with required run rate. Today is an easy win for SL and series is now levelled and 3rd ODI will be interesting to watch.

Till now they have been successful in controlling runs as Afghanistan has already lost 2 wickets 130 runs in 28 overs . The require runrate is  is 8 which is not a difficult one for Afghanistan as long as Ibrahim zadran is on crease .
Sri Lanka set a target of 323 runs in 50 overs today. Afghanistan come to bat. 187 runs in 40.1 overs. So far Afghanistan have lost 8 wickets. Afghanistan team now has 3 batsmen left. It doesn't look like Afghanistan will win this match today.  Can. Afghanistan now need 137 runs from 59 balls to win. Sri Lanka team is starting to perform well.

The odds are too good to ignore but if the top order could take the team closer and if Rashid Khan was in the team then there was an opportunity to challenge Sri Lanka. Unfortunately they lost too many top order wickets now as they lost their 6th wicket for 160 runs and it is a daunting task and it is a matter of time the Sri Lankan bowlers finish the tail and level the series.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka second ODI

~~~
In the second ODI encounter Afghanistan faces a difficult challenge from Sri Lanka excellent score of 323 runs. Sri Lanka made the right choice to bat first with all but Charith Asalanka making major contributions by reaching double figures. This group effort exemplifies the team versatility and resiliency in the batting order. Afghanistan now has the difficult challenge of pursuing 324 runs which unquestionably puts them under a lot of strain. However they still have a chance to shock Sri Lanka if they can keep up a consistent run flow and form solid partnerships.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka second ODI

Sri Lanka's score finally stopped at 323 runs. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first in the second ODI match against Afghanistan. And their batting decision was right today as they managed to score big against Afghanistan.  Except for Charith Asalanka, every batsman in the team, especially those who came out to bat, reached double figures.  

Today's target for Afghanistan is 324 runs. Afghanistan will be under a lot of pressure to bat against this big target. But if they can keep the run cycle going and build a good partnership, Afghanistan's win against Sri Lanka is not impossible.
