    What's the story

    Afghanistan duo Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai played their skins out in an enthralling first ODI versus Sri Lanka in Pallekele.

    Sri Lanka put on a massive score of 381/3 in 50 overs, riding on Pathum Nissanka's double-century.

    In response, Afghanistan were struggling at 55/5. Nabi and Omarzai then added 242 runs for the sixth wicket.

    Afghanistan lost but fought valiantly till the end.

    Record

    Second-highest partnership for the Afghans in ODI cricket

    As per ESPNcricinfo, Nabi and Omarzai registered the second-highest partnership for Afghanistan in ODI cricket.

    Nabi and Omarzai's stand was only behind Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran's 256-run opening stand against Bangladesh in 2023.

    Gurbaz and Ibrahim's 227-run partnership against Pakistan in Hambantota in 2023 is in third position.

    6th-wicket

    Mahela Jayawardene and MS Dhoni stitched a 218-run stand representing Asia XI against the World XI (2007).

    Highest 6th-wicket stand for Afghanistan

    Fifth-highest stand versus the Lankans in ODI cricket
