In Match 6 of Asia Cup 2023, Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka won the toss against Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi and decided to bat first at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan. No changes were made in the playing 11 of either of the two teams as they went in with the same 11 players that played in their last matches against Bangladesh. 

Afghanistan need a big win to overcome the net run rate deficit and get past Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Bangladesh are already through to Super4 and it would be one of the two teams between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan to move to the second round. 
 

Sri Lanka already won their first match against Bangladesh by five wickets, but Afghanistan lost the Tigers by 89 runs and as a result, their net run rate plummeted. The Sri Lankan net run rate is very high compared to Afghanistan.
