Afghanistan would look to finish a tough three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka on a high when the two teams face-off on Wednesday (February 21) in Dambulla. Afghanistan ‘battling for ride’ after two defeats in a row and Sri Lanka ‘eyeing another dominant display’ may just be cliches but they certainly are true.

The visitors would be desperate to avoid a 3-0 scoreline. Sri Lanka on the other hand would be keen to sustain their winning momentum and pound Afghanistan into the ground. After failing to overcome the excellence displayed by Sri Lanka skipper Wanindu Hasaranga and Matheesha Pathirana in the opening T20I Afghanistan were once again derailed by Sri Lanka’s attack who bowled the Ibrahim Zadran-led team out for 115 in the second T20I.

In a nutshell Sri Lanka's bowlers were impressive - Hasaranga Pathirana Angelo Mathews and Binura Fernando grabbed two scalps each while Maheesh Theekshana and Dasun Shanaka took one apiece. After being asked to bat first in Dambulla the home team posted a mammoth 187/6 thanks to Sadeera Samarawickrama’s half-century and Mathews’ unbeaten 22-ball 42. The hosts were in a spot of bother 110/4 but Afghanistan couldn’t capitalize on it.

A victory by 72 runs and an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the series was the end result. The final T20I would be an opportunity for Sri Lanka to continue their ascendancy while Afghanistan would be aiming to save face. As for team news Afghanistan might choose to believe in the same set of players to get back on track.

Meanwhile Sri Lanka might ring in some changes as they seek a whitewash. As the last leg of this series is on the cusp of a finish Sri Lanka has asserted dominance by winning the One-off Test and also clean sweeping the ODI series and now the final match of Afghanistan's tour to Sri Lanka is on the horizon marking the third and last T20I between the two teams at the same Dambulla venue.

With Sri Lanka already having clinched the series by 2-0 they enter the match with a tremendous winning momentum from their dominant performances in the previous encounters. The first T20I witnessed an impressive display of death bowling by Matheesha Pathirana who badly dismantled the timber thrice while the second match saw the hosts clinching victory in a more commanding fashion.

In the second match Sri Lanka's batsmen made significant contributions with Kusal Mendis Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama posting useful scores. Skipper Wanindu Hasaranga's brisk 22 off just 9 deliveries complemented Samarawickrama's solid 51 but it was Angelo Mathews' quickfire 42 off 22 balls that propelled the hosts to a daunting total of 187.

Despite Mohammad Nabi's economical bowling performance other Afghan bowlers struggled in the slog overs unable to contain Sri Lanka's onslaught. In their chase Afghanistan faced early setbacks losing wickets rapidly with only Karim Janat and Mohammad Nabi managing to cross the 20-run mark. Despite their efforts Afghanistan couldn't stabilize their innings losing half their side within the Powerplay overs.

Ultimately they were bowled out in the 17th over succumbing to a hefty 72-run defeat. Sri Lankan bowlers led by Mathews continued their dominance with Mathews himself dismissing key batsmen Hazratullah Zazai and Ibrahim Zadran. His economical spell of 2 wickets for 9 runs in 2 overs was instrumental supported by Binura Fernando.

Matheesha Pathirana and Wanindu Hasaranga all claiming two wickets each while Maheesh Theekshana also chipped in with a wicket. Sri Lanka's batting unit has been firing on all cylinders while their bowling attack has proven to be lethal throughout the series. Wanindu Hasaranga's remarkable return from injury has been a highlight showcasing his immense talent.
