NEW DELHI: Sri Lanka are set to take on a spirited Afghanistan in a high-stakes battle for survival in the World Cup, and while the island nation has been emboldened by back-to-back wins, they face a daunting challenge with the absence of their lead pacer, Lahiru Kumara. Kumara was ruled out of the World Cup on Sunday, having sustained a left thigh muscle injury during a training session.
In his place, the Sri Lankan team has brought in the talented Dushmantha Chameera as a replacement. The Sri Lankan team has demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination, making a comeback after a series of defeats in the tournament.
