NEW DELHI: Four half-centuries helped Sri Lanka to a total of 308 for six after they opted to bat first in the second one-day international against Afghanistan in Kandy on Sunday.
Despite early setbacks with the openers departing cheaply, Kusal Mendis (61) and Sadeera Samarawickrama (52) provided stability, forming a crucial 103-run partnership for the third wicket. Both batsmen, however, benefited from dropped catches before falling within eight deliveries of each other.
