    What's the story

    Sri Lanka will fight for redemption in the second ODI of the three-match series against Afghanistan on Sunday (November 27).

    As the hosts lost the series opener by 60 runs, they will be standing in a do-or-die game.

    Afghanistan, on the other hand, would be high on confidence after a comprehensive victory. Ibrahim Zadran (106) starred for them in the opener.

    Here's the preview.

    Details

    Pitch report, timing, and broadcast details

    The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will host the duel. The opener was also played at this venue.

    Sides batting second have won 19 of the 34 ODIs here with the average first-innings score being 249.

    Afghanistan pacers took nine of the 10 Sri Lankan wickets in the previous game.

    The match will get underway at 2:30 PM IST. Fans can live-stream it at ICC.tv.

    Information

    Here is the head-to-head record

    The two sides have met just five times in ODIs so far, with SL having a slender 3-2 lead. Afghanistan and Sri Lanka never met in a bilateral match before this series. Their preceding meeting in ODIs took place in the 2019 World Cup.

    Wanindu Hasaranga starred for SL with his all-round show. He scored a quickfire 66 alongside scalping two wickets.

    Pathum Nissanka (85) was the only other Lankan player to make a significant mark.
