Two Asian teams, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, will face off in the seventh match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Both the teams have suffered heavy defeats in their respective opening matches. Now, they will look to come out with a much-improved performance when they take on dark horses Afghanistan.
