Sri Lanka, a former T20 World Cup winner, is struggling in recent years. That said, the team is slowly developing a core, which is consistently attaining victories against top sides. While they will be backed to do well against Bangladesh and Afghanistan, it would not be a surprise if they challenge the likes of India and Pakistan, as well. Players such as Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga will be vital to Sri Lanka’s prospects in Asia Cup 2022.
Afghanistan has earned the reputation of being party spoiler, while also slowly improving the quality of its side. With the likes of Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan in the mix, Afghanistan can never be ruled out of the competition. Their first attempt will be to beat either of Sri Lanka or Bangladesh and then enter the next stage.
