Afghanan are sitting safely in seventh place on the current standings, with the top eight sides at the end of the Super League earning automatic spots. While the five points was a good result for Afghanan, it was the exact opposite for Sri Lanka as their hopes of automatic qualification were hanging a thread.
Dasun Shanaka’s side are in 10th place on the standings with just 67 points and only have four matches remaining in this period to try and sneak into the top eight.

Sri Lanka will look to pick up valuable 10 points and tie the three-ODI series defeating Afghanan in the third ODI in Pallekele on Wednesday.
