Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka live stream: how to watch Cricket World Cup 2019 match from anywhere

Having only a win against Scotland four years ago to their name, today is Afghanistan's big chance to record their first ever Cricket World Cup victory against a major cricketing nation. For Sri Lanka, it's an opportunity for the former champions to springboard their 2019 tournament. And no matter where you are in the world you can watch the match by using our guide below to getting an Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka live stream.

Afghanistan's preparations for the Cricket World Cup have been somewhat mixed. They lost heavily to an impressive England team, but took a famous victory against Pakistan. And the spoils were shared against Ireland, who haven't even made it to the tournament. Their star man is undoubtedly Rashid Khan. The 20-year-old all-rounder already has 59 ODI caps and combines devastating leg breaks with big striking down the order. This is his chance to make a real name for himself - his 27 runs from 11 balls against Australia were just a glimpse of what he can do.

Sri Lanka are far from a picture of stability, with skipper Dimuth Karunaratne - their fourth captain in eight months - not having played a competitive ODI in two years until his 50 not out in their Cricket World Cup opener with New Zealand. The Lions' recent form appears to mirror the upset and upheaval behind the scenes, with Sri Lanka having lost 24 of their last 28 completed ODIs - with recent resounding losses to South Africa and Australia in the run up to the tournament.

An intriguing game lies in store, and one you’ll be able to watch with ease from anywhere in the world if you follow our Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka live stream guide below.
