Afghanistan qualify directly for 2023 ODI World Cup
NEW DELHI: Afghanistan have gained direct qualification to next year’s 50-over World Cup after their abandoned second One-day International against Sri Lanka, the International Cricket Council said.
The Afghans and the hosts took five Super League points each in Pallekele on Sunday, keeping the visitors in seventh place in the table and guaranteeing them at least eighth position. Hosts India and the seven highest-ranked other teams earn direct entry to the 2023 tournament.
Four teams are scrapping for the last remaining direct entry spot – two-time champions West Indies, Ireland, former winners Sri Lanka, and South Africa. Sri Lanka will be hoping for a win in the final ODI of the Afghanistan tour on Wednesday to boost their chances and tie the current three-match series. Afghanistan won the first ODI by 60 runs on Friday.
