But the rest of the bowlers went wicketless and also spent a lot of runs. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier in the first inning, Sri Lanka was called to bowl first after Afghanistan won the toss. Sri Lankan bowlers put down Afghanistan to 144\/8 in a crucial fixture here at The Gabba.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pacer Lahiru Kumara started his hard-hitting bowling and scalped 2\/30. All-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga bowled well in this match as he bowled at an economy of 3.25 and struck 3 wickets by giving just 14 runs in 4 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Apart from them Kasun Rajitha and Dhananjaya de Silva also took one-one wickets to their account.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Afghanistan&#39;s batting started well with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Usman Ghani&#39;s 42 runs opening wicket partnership. In this Gurbaz scored 28 on 24 balls with 2 sixes and 2 fours. Ghani got 27 of 27 from his bat with 2 fours and one six.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ibrahim Zadran got the third-highest runs for the team as he scored 22 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><strong>AFG vs SL Full Score:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Today Live Match Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>AFG:<\/strong> 144\/8 (Gurbaz- 28 of 24, Ghani- 27 of 27; Hasaranga- 3\/13)<br \/>\r\n<strong>SL:<\/strong> 148\/4 (de Silva- 66 of 42; Rashid- 2\/31, Mujeeb- 2\/24)<\/p>\r\n",
