Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Betting Tips
Charith Asalanka hit a century during the series win over Zimbabwe earlier this year and he is our tip for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer against Afghanistan. Dilshan Madushanka has been Sri Lanka’s leading pace bowler over recent month and he is a strong choice for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker in this game.
Ibrahim Zadran averages 51.48 from 28 ODI innings and the 22 year old is our pick for Afghanistan’s highest run scorer against Sri Lanka. Mohammad Nabi has been in excellent form with the ball over recent months and the experienced all-rounder is well worth backing as Afghanistan’s top wicket taker on Friday.
Only two bowlers took more wickets than Dilshan Madushanka in the 2023 Cricket World Cup and left-arm pace bowler is our selection to take over 1.5 wickets in this ODI.

SL vs AFG 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Sri Lanka and Afghanistan go head to head in the first of three ODIs on Friday afternoon, February 9th, at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Sri Lanka beat Zimbabwe 2-0 in this format last month with this game Afghanistan’s first in this format since the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Read on as we preview this day-night match. The ODI gets underway at 14:30 local time.
Sri Lanka went all the way to the final of the 2023 Asia Cup in September which raised expectations ahead of the 2023 Cricket World Cup but they were then very disappointing, finishing only above the Netherlands. However, on home soil, they will be confident of getting off to a winning start in this series.
Afghanistan lost their last two games in the 2023 Cricket World Cup with defeats to semi-finalists South Africa and eventual winners Australia but they won three of their previous four. They play with an attacking mindset and they will not fear Sri Lanka in this match.
SL vs AFG Match Toss Prediction
