The Asia Cup begins in Dubai with Sri Lanka taking on Afghanistan in what promises to be a thrilling encounter between two teams who are outside favorites for the title. Afghanistan were involved in tough series against Ireland recently which they lost but the level of cricket was high and that would have given them a lot of confidence.

Wanindu Hasaranga is considered one of the best spinners currently playing international cricket and he will be looking to have an instant impact for Sri Lanka. Pathum Nissanka is the leader of the batting unit with 628 runs in his short 23-game T20 international career. He can take the attack to the opposition in the powerplays as he is equally adept at playing spin as pace. Kusal Mendis may promote himself a little higher up if there is a requirement to get some quick runs.
Naveen-ul-Haq has a lot riding on his shoulders as he has been built as one of the players to watch out for Afghanistan. His tricky variations can come in handy, particularly in the death overs. Batting can be a bit of a problem for them but the likes of Najibullah Zadran, Usman Ghani and Ibrahim Zadran have the potential to score big.
