SL vs AFG Dream11 Team Prediction and Suggestions for Saturday’s (August 27) Asia Cup 2022 match between Sri Lanka and Australia:
The wait for one of Cricket’s biggest spectacles is now over as the 15th edition of the Asia Cup flags off on Saturday, August 27. The tournament opener will pit hosts Sri Lanka against Afghanistan in the Group B fixture. The enthralling match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium.
Sri Lanka are the second most successful side in the Asia Cup, being crowned the champions five times. They had a dismal run in the last edition of the tournament, crashing out in the group stages. Under their new charismatic leader Dasun Shanaka, the side will hope to scale heights and eventually claim the prestigious trophy.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan have featured in the Asia Cup just twice before, finishing in fourth place on both occasions.
