Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will play a key clash during the ODI World Cup 2023 on Monday. The match is to be held in Pune where both the teams and its fans will witness an even contest between the bat and ball.
Kusal Mendis led Sri Lanka to the 5th place with four points from five games. After three losses in the first three games, Sri Lanka has won their last two games. The return of Angelo Mathews in the side has given them the required experience.
Afghanistan has already beaten two teams that have won the World Cup. Hasmatullah Shahidi and his team need a win to keep their semi-final hopes alive. A win on Monday will put them above Pakistan in the points table.

Likely playing conditions
The game on Monday will be the second-ever match to be played in Pune during the ODI World Cup 2023 tournament. The only game played over here saw India chase down the 257-run target set by Bangladesh with 7 wickets in hand.
With the stadium being on the outskirts of Mumbai, there will not be much heat in the afternoon. The evenings in Pune will be cooler and there will be dew on offer for the teams chasing. Hence the skipper who wins the toss will no doubt want to bowl first. It is a true pitch and the outfield is electric making it a ground with a penchant for high scores.
