Afghanistan qualify for 2023 ODI World Cup directly after their abandoned second one-day international beside 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 assuring them at least eighth position.
Hosts India and the seven highest-ranked other teams earn direct entry to the 2023 tournament.
Four teams are fighting for the last remaining direct entry spot — two-time champions West Indies, Ireland, earlier 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 increase their chances and tie the current three-match series.
Afghanistan qualify for 2023 ODI World Cup and won the first ODI by 60 runs on Friday.
As well as the hosts, so far protecting champions England, New Zealand, Australia, Bangladesh and Pakistan have also secured direct entry into next year’s tournament.
The cut-off date for the final Super League positions is on May 31, 2023.
