Opting to bowl first, Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangla Tigers dismissed the Lankans for 279 in 49.3 overs, with Charith Asalanka top-scoring with 108, and won the game in 41.3 overs courtesy of Shakib’s 82 and Najmul Hossain Shanto’s 90.

With the result, Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan have officially qualified for the 2025 Champions Trophy, in Pakistan. Barring the hosts, the top seven teams from the ongoing World Cup will directly qualify to play in the next 50-over ICC tournament. Thus, Afghanistan are now set to finish in top-seven and will feature in their first-ever Champions Trophy.
