Kusal Mendis' innings overshadowed Nabi's, as Afghanistan were eliminated.
Troubled by Nuwan Thushara's blistering bowling, Afghanistan scored 169 for eight against Sri Lanka, thanks to Mohammad Nabi's unbeaten half-century. Afghanistan were in trouble at 79 for six in the 13th over before Nabi (60) batted aggressively in the final overs to lift the team to a strong total.
