ICC Cricket World Cup Super League points table (Updated) as on December 1 after SL vs AFG 2022 ODI series
Sri Lanka climbed to the ninth position in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League points table by registering a win against Afghanistan last night in Pallekele. It was the final match of the series between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. The Islanders trailed by 0-1 at the start of the game but drew level 1-1 by winning the third ODI.
Afghanistan won the toss and opted to bat first in the third ODI. They had a golden opportunity to record a series win against former world champions Sri Lanka. The visitors batted well and posted a 313-run total on the scoreboard.
Despite having a strong bowling unit, Afghanistan failed to defend 314 runs in the second innings. Rashid Khan bowled a magnificent spell of 4/37. However, the other bowlers could not impress much as Sri Lanka won the game by four wickets with two balls to spare.
Thank you @OfficialSLC for being an incredible host for this ODI series. It was a wonderful tour with lots of memories both on and off the field. Looking forward to touring Sri Lanka again and again in the future. 🤝🏏
