Sri Lanka 381 for 3 (Nissanka 210*, Avishka 88, Fareed 2-79) beat Afghanistan 339 for 6 (Omarzai 149, Nabi 136, Madushan 4-75) by 42 runs
It would leave them wondering perhaps what might have been had there been more substantial contributions from their top order, but in a chase of the mammoth 382-run target set by Sri Lanka, many fell wanting in searching for a fast start.
In between the two he had Ibrahim Zadran caught at slip, and returned later in the game to break the stand between Nabi and Omarzai. He finished with figures of 4 for 75.
With Dushmantha Chameera accounting for the scalps of Rahmat Shah and Gulbadin Naib at the other end, Afghanistan found themselves staring down the barrel of an ignominious defeat, having stumbled to 55 for 5 midway through the ninth over.
But that was when the fightback began, as the pair of Omarzai and Nabi resolved early on to take the game as deep as possible.
