Sri Lanka, Sept. 18 -- Sri Lanka, who have already won both their group matches against Bangladesh and Hong Kong, will be looking for an improved batting performance in their final Group chasing a spot in the Super Four, and after their narrow eight-run loss to Bangladesh on Tuesday (16), Afghanistan have high hopes of bouncing back strongly.

Sri Lanka survived a scare in their previous outing against Hong Kong at the Dubai Stadium last Sunday, where their batting faltered during the chase. The team management is deeply concerned about batting consistency as they prepare to face Afghanistan's spin-heavy attack, spearheaded by their experienced leg-spinner Rashid Khan.
