Sri Lanka collected 143 runs in 14 overs. The team is collecting more than 10 runs per over. And since Sri Lanka have lost just 3 wickets, Sri Lanka are more likely to win so far. Pathum Nissanka was dismissed for 60 off 30 balls. Almost every batsman in the Sri Lankan squad is in good form. So even if the target is big, they might be able to win.
Afghanistan captain Ibrahim Zadran has used 6 of his bowlers. But we don't see any bowler bowling better than him. If this continues, Sri Lanka will win the series 3-0.
Afghanistan team improved a lot in their batting today but I think Sri Lanka still have a chance to win this match. The Sri Lankan team currently needs 40 runs from 14 balls and they still have five wickets to spare. Kushal Mendis and Dasun Shanaka are batting at the crease at the moment. If the Sri Lankan team's opening batsman Pathum Nissanka had not retired hard, maybe this match could have taken another turn. Kushal Mendis has just completed his half century, he will look to open his arms from now on, maybe we will finally see a dramatic victory in this match.
Today, the Afghanistan team managed to win because of their good performance till the end keeping the wicket under control. I was hopeful for the Afghanistan team as they only lost in consecutive ODIs and T20Is but in the third T20I Afghanistan team gave a befitting reply. The opening two batsmen, Hazratullah and Gurbaz, who performed well in the power play, played a major role in today's victory. Did very well to control the wicket from the start till the last. And bowled well but Sri Lankan team lost today, tried hard to win but couldn't.
The third T20 match which was played at Dambulla was finally won by the Afghanistan team. Though it was a close 3 run victory but a victory is victory and Afghanistan team can celebrate this win.
In this match, Rahmanullah Gurbaz made 73 runs in 43 balls. He was the man of the match because of his good batting performance. From Sri lankan team we had Pathum Nissanka who was retired hurt on 60 while Kamindu Mendis remained not out at 65 runs. The strange thing is that Srilankan team were unable to chase this score even though I thought that they tried their best.
Mohammad Nabi took 2 wickets while Fareed Ahmad, Noor Ahmad and Qais Ahmad took one wicket each. This was the first and only victory by the Afghanistan team. They lost 3 one days matches and the first two T20 matches also. But luck favors them this time and they were able to beat Srilanka in the last match of theT20 series.
A thrilling win for Afghanistan, a consolidatory too. Sri Lanka won the only test, clean swiped ODIs and was about to clean swipe the T20 too.
It was a high scoring innings from Afghanistan with Hazaratulla and Rahmanulla opening the batting with a good partnership. Sri Lanka nearly chased it but the retirement due to injury to Pathum Nissanka was a bad luck for them. He had scored 60 off 30 before voluntarily leaving the crease.
Anyway, Sri Lanka won't be disappointed as they had shown full dominance over the Afghan team and Afghan have reasons for their decreasing performance.
