After securing a narrow victory in the series opener, Sri Lanka will hope to continue the winning momentum when they host Afghanistan in the second T20I. The match will be held at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on February 19. After losing the one-off Test as well as the ODI series, Afghanistan were desperate to turn the tables in the T20I leg of the Sri Lanka tour. The visitors pulled off a brilliant start to the first T20I where Sri Lanka batted first. The hosts had lost four wickets at just 55 runs when Sadeera Samarawickrama and Wanindu Hasaranga revived the innings with a 72-run partnership.
The Sri Lankan captain stole the show with his big-hitting prowess, scoring a quickfire 64 at a 200-plus strike rate. The upcoming batters, however, failed to make an impact as Sri Lanka folded their innings at 160 runs. Afghanistan faced a batting collapse as well during the chase. Apart from the captain Ibrahim Zadran, none from the visiting unit managed to survive long. As most of the middle and lower-order batters returned with a single-digit score, Afghanistan ultimately fell four runs short of the target, losing nine wickets in 20 overs.
