In what will be the 7th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Afghanistan will take on the islanders from Sri Lanka. It’s going to be an exciting match as both the teams have lost their first game and would be desperate to get on the points table. Two points here could lift the morale and spirit of the winning team.
AFGH vs SL Dream 11 Prediction
Bowlers for AFGH vs SL Dream 11
Lasith Malinga had a poor outing in the first match where he got smashed for 46 runs in just 5 overs by the Kiwis. However, consider his experience and ability to bounce back, I surely pick him against a team like Afghanistan who do not have the best of batsmen.
The 2 Afghan spinners who can wreak havoc in any condition also make it to my team. Rashid Khan has been bowling as brilliantly as every with Mujeeb ur Rahman also pitching in. They make a good triad with Nabi and are Afghanistan’s biggest assets. I get them in without a doubt.
All-rounders for AFGH vs SL Dream 11
Mohammad Nabi, as mentioned earlier, is a huge asset for Afghanistan. He has played every ODI that Afghanistan has played and has been instrumental in their rise. Nabi contributes with both bat and ball which makes him a very dangerous player.

I get him in along with his captain Gulbadin Naib, who showed signs of great form in the warm-ups and the first match. He scored 31 crucial runs against Australia and also picked up a wicket. His dual ability will come in handy for my team. He will also be the vice captain of this team.
Wicket-keepers for AFGH vs SL Dream 11
Mohammad Shahzad scored a duck in the first match but I will still pick him. He is one of the best hitters of the cricket ball currently. He can smash the bowlers around the park and out of it as well. His pure power hitting has gotten him many a century. I go with him without a doubt.
Kusal Perera of Sri Lanka also makes it to my team here. Perera played a decent 29-run knock against New Zealand and has been in pretty good touch over the last few months. He is an integral part of my team.
Batsmen for AFGH vs SL Dream 11
Dimuth Karunaratne is my first batsman and why not! He has been batting beautifully and was one of the lone bright spots in the Sri Lankan lineup in the first match. He scored a great fifty and played some good looking strokes. The Sri Lankan captain is also my captain for this match.
Dimuth Karunaratne:
-> 2nd player to carry the bat in CWC after Ridley Jacobs (1999)
-> 2nd captain to carry the bat in ODIs after Upul Tharanga (2017)#CWC19 #NZvSL— Sampath Bandarupalli (@SampathStats) June 1, 2019
Lahiru Thirimanne is my next pick here. He opens the innings and even though he failed in the first match, you can never write him off. He scored some runs in the warm-up and would want to take confidence from that.
Afghan opener Hazratullah Zazai also makes it to my team. He was also out for a golden duck in the first match like his opening partner Shahzad. However, just like Shahzad, I expect Zazai to go hard at the Lankan bowlers. He can be brutal with the bat and can make full use of the powerplay.
Zazai walks into my team for sure along with Rahmat Shah. Rahmat Shah scored 43 in the last game against Australia and has been consistently scoring runs at No. 3. Even in the warm-ups and the series prior to that, Shah has shown his dependability and calibre which makes him a must-have in your team.
