    What's the story

    Sri Lanka are gearing up to host Afghanistan in a three-match ODI series, starting June 2.

    All three matches will be played at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota.

    With the ICC ODI World Cup scheduled to take place later this year in India, both teams would view this series as a preparation opportunity.

    Here we present the statistical preview.

    A look at the head-to-head record

    Sri Lanka and Afghanistan have so far faced each other in seven ODIs.

    While the Lankan Lions have won four, Afghanistan have come out victorious on 2 occasions (NR:1).

    The two sides last met in the format in November 2022 as the series ended in a 1-1 tie.

    That series was Afghanistan's maiden and only ODI assignment on SL soil to date.
