The wicket does not offer much for fast bowlers, but spinners will gain grip and turn as the ball ages. Pacers will have to bowl tight lines and deceive batters with their variations.
Isolated thunderstorms are expected in the morning. But the evening should be clear. The temperature will be around 23 degrees.

Sri Lanka will begin the match as favourites. The hosts have been dominant throughout the series, winning all of the games. On paper, they have the advantage and will back themselves to sweep the Afghans aside. The visitors have suffered a setback with the loss of Rashid and Mujeeb, as well as Gurbaz’s poor form. We are rooting for Sri Lanka to win. Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.
