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.

Both the teams linger at the bottom of the points table of Group 1 with Sri Lanka in the fifth position while Afghanistan at sixth.

With wickets in hand, Mohammad Nabi (13) dispatched a slower one to extra-cover. The spinners were then able to slow down the proceedings after the wicket but Usman Ghani (27) whacked Kumara for a six to long off. The ball swung in the opening two overs but after that the Sri Lankan bowlers struggled to get their lengths right as Rahmanullah Gurbaz (28) donned the role of the aggressor.

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.

In such a scenario, it’s a must-win game for both teams the race for a spot in the semifinals. After having two of its games washed out at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Afghanistan was desperate for some sunny and bright days in Brisbane. Even though head coach Jonathan Trott was optimistic about the weather clearing up for the game to be held as per schedule, another washout is quite possible.
