The last match of Group 'B' in the Asia Cup is today. Afghanistan and Sri Lanka face each other. Sri Lanka has already won 2 matches and is almost one step closer to the Super Four. Afghanistan must win against Sri Lanka today to ensure a Super Four berth.

However, Bangladesh's fate is also tied to this match. Because Afghanistan's victory means Bangladesh's elimination is certain. For this reason, Bangladeshi cricket fans are definitely supporters of Sri Lanka today.

Complex calculations:

The Sri Lanka-Afghanistan match has complicated calculations. If Sri Lanka defeats Afghanistan, then no calculations will be required, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will already reach the Super Four. But the problem will arise if Afghanistan wins.

If Sri Lanka bats first and scores 150 runs, Afghanistan will have to chase it down in 11.4 overs to advance to the Super Four. If Afghanistan scores 150, Sri Lanka will have to be bowled out for less than 84 runs, and only then will Bangladesh make it to the next round.

In other words, the simple equation is that Afghanistan has no choice but to win. Bangladesh will want Sri Lanka to win. But if Sri Lanka loses, it will have to be by a big margin.

Strengths and weaknesses of the two parties:

Afghanistan's star leg-spinner Rashid Khan, Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga are equally effective. Both teams are known for their all-rounder-based and strong bowling units. However, the shaky nature of the batting lineup is a concern for both sides.

Sri Lanka nearly lost to Hong Kong in their last match, and were all out for just 80 runs against Zimbabwe. Afghanistan, on the other hand, have defeated Sri Lanka three times in eight matches.

Those who will be on the lookout:

Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Scored 248 runs in 6 matches against Sri Lanka at a strike rate of 172. His experience playing in the LPL could give him an added advantage.

Dushmante Chamira: Sri Lanka's fast pacer, his controlled bowling at the beginning and end of the innings can turn the match around.
