Cardiff: Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib reflected on the team’s 34-run loss to Sri Lanka on Tuesday (June 4). The match was curtailed due to rain and the Afghans failed to chase the revised target of 187 after bowling out Sri Lanka for 201. The contest was reduced to 41 overs per side. Naib said they did not bowl well in the opening 10 overs where Sri Lanka scored 79/0. But despite this good start, the Afghans restricted the opposition.
