Put into bat, several Sri Lankan batters got their eyes in but could not quite capitalise on those starts. Angelo Mathews and Maheesh Theekshana raised 45 quick runs for the eighth wicket but Sri Lanka still fell short of the 250-mark.Afghanistan lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the first over but Rahmat Shah and Ibrahim Zadran calmed the nerves with a 73-run partnership.
With victory in sight, both decided to play their shots and Azmatullah scored the winning run when he attempted to hit a six and was dropped at deep midwicket.
