Subsequently, the hosts also leveled the series 1-1 and evaded a series defeat by a whisker.<\/p>\n<p>Ibrahim Zadran scored 162 runs off 138 balls with the help of 15 fours and four sixes after the Afghans opted to bat first. Apart from racking up the highest score by an Afghan batter in ODIs, he also broke Gautam Gambhir\u2019s record of highest score by a visiting batter in ODIs on Sri Lankan soil. However, his efforts went in vain.<\/p>\n<p>On the back of Zadran\u2019s knock, Afghanistan posted a stiff target of 314 for Sri Lanka to chase down. The left-handed Najibullah Zadran also scored 77 runs off 76 balls in a handy 154-run stand for the fourth wicket with Ibrahim.<\/p>\n<p><iframe allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"352\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/0cKRCsN3XEmbwXAUdUTYJU?utm_source=generator\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Kasun Rajitha was the pick of the bowlers as he accounted for three scalps.

Asitha Fernando and Dhananjaya de Silva got one wicket apiece.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka made a handsome start to their run-chase courtesy of a 101-run stand for the first wicket between Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka. Mendis carried his decent form and scored 67 off 61 before Mohammad Nabi got rid of him.<\/p>\n<p>Dinesh Chandimal promised in his 32-ball 33 before becoming Nabi\u2019s second victim. However, it was Rashid Khan who never allowed Sri Lanka to run away with the match. The wily leg-spinner finished with figures of 10-0-37-4 as the home team kept suffering hiccups.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Charith Asalanka and Dunith Wellalage made sure that Sri Lanka chased the target down with two balls to spare. The duo stitched together an unbeaten 65-run partnership off 37 balls to deny Afghanistan victory.<\/p>\n<p>Asalanka won the Player of the Match award for his unbeaten 72-ball 83 with five fours and four sixes. Wellalage, who captained Sri Lanka in the U19 World Cup earlier this year, stayed not out on 31 off 21 with four fours and a six.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-99cc083358cc2e2d Story_authors__container__i9YKo\">\n<div class=\"jsx-99cc083358cc2e2d Story_authors__by__MnMLD\">\n<p>Edited By: <\/p>\n<p>sabyasachi chowdhury<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-99cc083358cc2e2d Story_published__on___89yu\">\n<p>Published On: <\/p>\n<p>Nov 30, 2022<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/sports\/cricket\/story\/3rd-odi-ibrahim-zadrans-162-in-vain-as-charith-asalankas-heroic-83-gives-sri-lanka-series-levelling-win-vs-afghanistan-2303788-2022-11-30?utm_source=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Sri Lanka beat Afghanistan by five wickets in the last game of the three-match ODI series on Wednesday, November 30 at Pallekele International Stadium.
