Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka Prediction, Odds and Tips

💯 Afghanistan v Sri Lanka Betting Odds

Cricket was invented by the English and spread around the globe when the British were at the height of their colonial power, so it stands to reason that it is one of the most popular sports in Britain nowadays, along with the likes of football, horse racing, and rugby. As a result, British bookies know the importance of offering a top cricket betting platform.

Below I have given you the recent betting odds for three top cricket markets in relation to this match.

Match Winners Odds: Afghanistan v Sri Lanka

If you are considering placing a bet on the winner of this match, then below are some top match winner odds:

Team
Afghanistan	TBA	TBA	2.37	2.25	2.37
Sri Lanka	2.55	2.55	1.57	1.50	1.57

Top Batsman Odds: Afghanistan v Sri Lanka

There are plenty of entertaining markets in the cricket betting world, but the one that sits at the top of the pile in my opinion is the top batsman market. With this market type, you choose a player to score the bulk of the runs for their team, and when it is their turn to bat, that is when the fun kicks in. You will feel a mixture of anguish, suspense, and excitement during their innings - if they are not dismissed first ball, that is. The top batsman odds are usually enticing due to the difficulty level of such a bet.

Below are three Afghan and Sri Lankan batsmen that are worth a punt when it comes to the top batsman market.

Afghanistan:

Player
Rahmanullah Gurbaz	4.00	3.00
Ibrahim Zadran	4.00	3.20
Rahmat Shah	7.00	3.25

Sri Lanka:

Player
Pathum Nissanka	4.50	3.00
Sadheera Samarawickreme	6.00	4.00
Kusal Mendis	4.33	3.25

Top Wicket Taker Odds: Afghanistan v Sri Lanka

Sometimes you might have a lot of indecision as to which batsman to back for the above market, and in such cases, I advise you to look at another entertaining market. The market in question is the top wicket taker market, where you are betting on the player that will take the most wickets. If you opt for this market, you can cheer on every ball that your bowler bowls, while hoping that his fellow bowlers mess up. Like the batsman market, the top wicket taker odds are usually long.

Below are three Afghan and Sri Lankan bowlers that are worth looking at for this market:

Afghanistan:

Player
Rashid Khan	3.25	2.62
Mujeeb Ur Rahman	4.33	3.50
Ahmad Noor	4.50	4.50

Sri Lanka:

Player
Lahiru Kamara	4.33	3.50
Dilshan Madushanka	3.25	3.00
Maheesh Theekshana	3.75	3.25

🔍 Afghanistan v Sri Lanka Match Winner Prediction

Ahead of this World Cup, many cricket fans would have put their money on Sri Lanka to win this match, but there will be a lot more uncertainty now. Afghanistan have picked up two big wins against England and Pakistan, so their confidence will be sky-high, and they will have one eye on a shock top-four spot.

Sri Lanka's campaign got off to a dodgy start, but they have picked up two wins and are right back in the mix. Their young players are becoming more confident, so I do not think it would be wise to rule them out of a top-four finish just yet.

Both of these teams have equal ability in the bowling and batting departments, so the eventual winners will be determined by the team that performs the best on the day. The sports betting sites have the Sri Lankans as the favourites to win, but I fancy the Afghans to put in another stellar performance and win the game. Thus, I am going against the bookies for the outcome of this match.

✔️ Afghanistan v Sri Lanka CWC Betting Tips

It is now time for me to provide you with some betting tips for this AFG vs SL match:

Match Winner: Afghanistan to Win

These two nations have played 11 ODI matches against each other, and Sri Lanka lead the head-to-head record with 7 wins from 11 games. Afghanistan have 3 wins under their belts, while the other match was a no result. These stats will give Sri Lanka plenty of optimism, but Afghanistan know that are capable of beating Sri Lanka as they have done in the past.

Even if you do not support Afghanistan or Sri Lanka, you should still make an effort to watch this game as they both play entertaining cricket. Afghanistan are never expected to win, so they get to play with smiles on their faces and no pressure on their shoulders. A rarity for teams playing at big international tournaments.

Sri Lanka's team is young and does not possess much experience, so if the pressure is turned up by Afghanistan, they might crumble. Afghanistan has some top batters, and if Sri Lanka's bowlers err ever so slightly when under pressure, they will be ready to cash in.

If you think that Afghanistan will win this match, then Spreadex Sports are currently offering odds of 2.37 for an Afghan win.

Afghanistan's Top Batsman Winner: Rahmanullah Gurbaz to Win

I have been very impressed by Gurbaz at this World Cup - he has hit 159 runs in four innings and is averaging just under 40. He has cashed in whenever a bad ball has been bowled to him, and he is having a lot of fun batting in the Powerplay when there are fielding restrictions in play. I think he will get his team off to a flier, just like he did in previous wins against Pakistan and England.

If you want to put your money on Gurbaz to be the top scorer for Afghanistan, then William Hill are offering odds of 4.00.

Sri Lanka's Top Batsman Winner: Sadeera Samarawickrama to Win

Sadeera Samarawickrama has been a standout performer for Sri Lanka at this World Cup, scoring 295 runs in five games at an impressive average of 98.33. He hit 65 in their win over England, and the Afghan bowlers will know that if they miss their mark by just a fraction then he will put them away for a four or six.

William Hill are currently offering odds of 6.00 for him to top score for his team.

Afghanistan's Top Wicket Taker: Rashid Khan to Win Top Wicket Taker

You will probably not be surprised to see Rashid Khan as my Afghanistan top wicket taker since we all know that he is their best bowler and would be picked for most other teams that are participating in this tournament. In the four matches that he has played, he has collected six wickets while averaging 30.83. While he would like his average to be lower, you need to remember that wickets are the important factor for this market.

Want to bet on Khan to take the most Sri Lankan wickets? If yes, then William Hill currently have odds of 3.25.

Sri Lanka's Top Wicket Taker: Dilshan Madushanka to Win Top Wicket Taker

If you have not been impressed by Dilshan Madushanka over the last few weeks, then you do not know much about cricket. He has been brilliant, causing many of the top batters in the world a variety of issues. He has 11 wickets to his name at a really good average of 24.55. His pace and delivery variation should cause Afghanistan plenty of problems.

Those who want to back Madushanka to take the most wickets for Sri Lanka can make use of William Hill's odds of 3.25.
