World cup 2019: Sri Lanka beat Afghanistan by 34 runs.

Sri Lanka have got their World Cup campaign on track after losing by 10 wickets to New Zealand in their first match.

Sri Lanka have beaten Afghanistan by 34 runs by the DLS method in Cardiff on Tuesday to register their first points of the World Cup. Sri Lanka, who batted first, were bowled out for 201 by Afghanistan after rain forced the play to be curtailed to 41 overs per side at Cardiff. The target for Afghanistan, however, has been revised to 187 applying the DLS method. Kusal Perera top-scored for Sri Lanka making 78 while Mohammad Nabi emerged as the star bowler for Afghanistan finishing with 4/30 in nine overs.
