    AFG vs SL ODI World Cup 2023: Predicted Top Run-Scorers

    For Sri Lanka: Kusal Mendis

    One of Sri Lanka’s batting mainstays, Kusal Mendis, has been in a league of his own during the World Cup 2023. Accumulating a total of 229 runs in five matches, Mendis has proved his mettle as a reliable run-scorer.

    While he encountered a couple of hiccups in recent outings, his potential to steer the innings makes him a contender for the highest run-scorer.

    For Sri Lanka: Sadeera Samarawickrama

    Sadeera Samarawickrama has been a revelation for Sri Lanka in this tournament. His impressive performances, including match-winning innings, have earned him recognition as a formidable run-getter.

    AFG vs SL ODI World Cup 2023: Predicted Leading Wicket-Takers

    For Sri Lanka: Maheesh Theekshana

    Maheesh Theekshana may not have had an exceptional World Cup, but his unique bowling skills make him a pivotal asset. 

    Playing on the potentially flat tracks of Pune, Theekshana’s ability to make the ball talk and change the game is undeniable. 

    He remains a key bowler to watch, and Sri Lanka’s hopes may hinge on his performances.

    For Afghanistan: Rashid Khan

    Rashid Khan, the maestro of spin, is set to be the linchpin of Afghanistan’s bowling attack. With an innate understanding of Sri Lanka’s strengths and weaknesses, Rashid Khan is well-prepared to assert his dominance. 

    Armed with the knowledge of the Sri Lankan team, he is poised to dismantle their batting lineup, adding wickets to his ever-growing World Cup tally.
