BD fans flooded FB with them or bd players wearing SL jersey

Even my Lankan colleagues were laughing

Captain Charith Asalanka was quite stern in his assessment after Sri Lanka scraped past Hong Kong. One of the things he might not be fretting over, though, is Pathum Nissanka's form, who as Fidel writes, is raising his bar one notch at a time.

Azweer : "It's a do or die game. Afghanistan must rope in Mujeeb and Ishaq in place of Karim and Ghazanfar in their Playing XI. " -- This may be a high-stakes game, but doubt Afghanistan will make many changes, although a case could be made for Mujeeb's inclusion.

Rajiv: "Full disclosure: I'm an SL fan, but whenever we play AFG, I find myself rooting for the opposition. Can't explain why!"

Kusal: "As a Sri Lankan, I would like to see the team lose today's match marginally." -- I'm sure that has nothing to do with Bangladesh subsequently getting eliminated...

Jokes galore!

Yashod: "Sri Lanka should try Wellalage tonight, perhaps in place of Kamindu/KJP" -- Not sure about SL sacrificing a batter to bring in Wellalage, but Farveez Maharoof does think SL could be tempted to bring in the left-arm spinner too.

Meanwhile, Namibia has thrashed Zimbabwe for 205 in Zimbabwe. And Zimbabwe is at 45/4 atp..

It's toss time. Asalanka and Rashid are out there in the middle. Asalanka has the coin and he gives it a spin. Rashid calls tails, and tails it is. Afghanistan will bat first.

Rashid Khan: We would like to bat first. Runs on the board is important on this wicket. It is a must-win game, we have to keep it simple and do the basics right. It is a new surface, we have played a lot in Abu Dhabi, 165+ is a good score. We have a couple of changes. Rasooli and Mujeeb come in for Ghazanfar and Naib
