The losers will be knocked out of semi-final contention, but a washout won't quite end their campaigns, depending on other results.

We are trying to bounce back from the match against New Zealand." We've played here in a pre-tournament game, and had that experience. And we had over two weeks preparing here in Brisbane. The others have been underwhelming, even [Pathum Nissanka](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/pathum-nissanka-1028655), who has made 137 runs, but at a strike rate of only 97. Which is something of a turnaround from the outstanding performances that helped win them an Asia Cup in September. [Rahmanullah Gurbaz](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/rahmanullah-gurbaz-974087)was in blistering touch, crashing 40 off 18 in the first match, before plundering 84 off 45 in the next. "We know we're the Asian champions. In fact, it's his highest against any team. Otherwise, likely the same XI.

There's a 90% chance of rain according to some forecasts. But they had no such excuse on a sunny day in Sydney, where Nissanka's drop of Glenn Phillips may have cost them the match.

Runs away to the fence and Sri Lanka are one shot away from winning this game Rashid slides to his left and he seems to have injured himself in the process. That's a stunning shot to finish the match. It's the in-turner and Rajapaksa tries to late-steer it backward of square on off-side. Team down and out, but he puts in that slide to drag the match as far as possible. A wicket off the final ball for Mujeeb but it's too little, too late. DDS notched up a classy fifty off just 36 deliveries and took his team over the line with 9 balls to spare. In reply, the Asian champions got off to a slow start. Sri Lanka stay alive in the competition and plenty of things ought to go their way for them to make it to the semis. The bowlers bowled in the right areas. Sri Lanka's bowlers bowled really well in the back end of the first innings to restrict Afghanistan to a below-par score. We found some consistency today, what is important is to continue in the next game as well.

Hasaranga, Dhananjaya, Kumara keep Sri Lanka's campaign alive (ESPNcricinfo.com)

Sri Lanka 148 for 4 (Dhananjaya de Silva 66*, Mujeeb 2-24) beat Afghanistan 144 for 8 (Hasaranga 3-13) by six wickets.

One of the boundaries he conceded to de Silva was also the result of an inside edge. He had to be helped off the field. The pair made 54 off 34 together; de Silva hit 29 off 16. In this game, Hasaranga bowled the seventh, 11th, 14th, and final over of the innings, took three wickets, and did not concede a single boundary. He was on 28 off 23 at the end of the powerplay, and Afghanistan had a platform, having made 42 for no loss. As he slid to stop a ball on the boundary with Sri Lanka on the cusp of victory, his knee got stuck in the Gabba's soft turf, and he appeared to pick up a painful injury. De Silva was two off seven at the end of the powerplay, then 12 off 15 later. And Afghanistan did not have a partnership that touched 30 for the rest of the innings. He took special pleasure in bowling his opposite number - Rashid - with a googly in the 20th over, which brought Sri Lanka two wickets and cost only three runs. In the 11th over, de Silva nailed a slog sweep off Rashid Khan for six, and this is when his own innings, and that of the team, switched into a higher gear. He hit 54 runs off the last 29 balls he faced, launching Mohammad Nabi for a six into the sight screen, cracking seamers over the covers, and sending the spinners legside. [Mujeeb Ur Rahman](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/mujeeb-ur-rahman-974109)delivered excellent early overs, they could muster only 28 runs from the powerplay.
