Sri Lanka wary of Afghan threat as they go into U19 WC quarter-final today

It is crunch time for Sri Lanka who have so far made excellent progress in the ongoing ICC Under-19 World Cup in the West Indies where they come up against Afghanistan in a quarter-final match at Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua today, where a loss could mean the end to their World Cup winning campaign.

Sri Lanka came through the group stages unbeaten with wins over Scotland, Australia and host West Indies, while Afghanistan beat Papua New Guinea and Zimbabwe and lost narrowly to Pakistan by 24 runs.
