Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are clashing in the 30th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 tournament on October 30 in Pune. Both the teams have won two and lost four games in the six they played this far.
Sri Lanka was put into bat first after Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi won the toss. Noor Ahmad made way for Fazalhaq Farooqi, while Rashid Khan appeared in his 100th ODI. On the other hand, Dushmantha Chameera and Dimuth Karunaratne came in for Lahiru Kumara and Kusal Perera.
During the national anthems of both the sides, the teams were accompanied onto the field with kids who acted as mascot. As the national anthems went on in heat, one of the kids, standing in front of Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis fainted.

Mendis kept the child from falling to the ground and then a member of the Afghanistan team support staff came and carried the kid away.
