It’s been a very disappointing time in the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup for Afghanistan so far because they’ve only got to play one of their three games in the Super 12s stage so far. They made England struggle in the latter’s 5-wicket victory and then both their following games against New Zealand and Ireland were washed out, giving them no wins in their 3 games so far. Knowing this team, they’ll be disappointed as they’d fancy their chances in both games.
Now it’s a chance for them to keep their hopes in the T20 WC 2022 alive with a win against Sri Lanka. The weather is much better at Brisbane and SL currently finds themselves at the bottom of the Group 1 points table with 1 win and 2 losses and a poor net run rate so far in this stage of the competition.

Afghanistan
After a string of low scores over many months now, Mohammad Nabi scored 41* and 51* with the bat against Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively and considering he’s played a lot here in the BBL, he’s going to be good with the ball too, so he can even be your AFG vs SL fantasy team captain or vice-captain. Considering the assistance to pacers though, we might want Fazalhaq Farooqi in your team as he can swing the ball both ways early on.
A lot of players are being very circumspect when Rashid Khan comes on to bowl, so we’d rather pick someone like Mujeeb Rahman if you’re looking at another wicket-taking option, as you should since this ground isn’t known for the big scores in general. With the bat though, there’s the experienced Najibullah Zadran, while Rahmanullah Gurbaz can also make your AFG vs SL Dream11 team as he’s played a lot with the SL bowlers in the Lanka Premier League.
Sri Lanka
The tournament leaders with both bat and ball are from Sri Lanka, that is Kusal Mendis (2 fifties in 6 games) and Wanindu Hasaranga (10 scalps in 6 games). Hasaranga hasn’t been at his best and has given away more runs per over than he does right through his career but he’s managed to get some confidence under his belt in the last couple of games, which is reason enough for us to pick him in our fantasy side today.

We surely want Dhananjaya de Silva in our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) AFG vs SL fantasy team, maybe even as captain or vice-captain because he’s been batting up the order and being given the ball regularly too in this 2022 T20 WC so far. Over the last year or so, the SL captain Dasun Shanaka has been saving them through multiple top-order collapses with the bat and he should also make your side.
