Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat first. They had a poor start but then came back and launched the Sri Lankan bowlers for the cleaners. They put up 153 runs and set a target for Sri Lanka to chase. Here are some tweets on the match

You can either cry like Ireland, Netherland and Scotland or force ICC to give you more chances, like Afghanistan or Bangladesh #WT20 #AFG

No matter who wins this match, Sri Lankan national anthem is the real winner here #Wt20 #SL #AFG

Sri Lankan national anthem in longer than the names of Sri Lankan cricketers #AFGvSL

They spent 2 years in making SL constitution. 23 months were spent on composing the national anthem. #WT20

Dear ICC, if Afghanistan win today, will it be glorified as something momentous, or sidelined as an embarrassment not worth talking about?

“Fearless Cricket” is how I would describe Afghanistan. You cant take them easy and they deserve respect in this format. #AFGvSL #WT20

First competitive game of #WT20 features a team they made qualify twice. I love cricket

Mohammad Shehzad, a big MS Dhoni fan, plays the helicopter shot like Dhoni, stumps like Dhoni, his initals are MS, his jersey no. is 77…
