The NZ match at Cardiff in 99 was a bit of a turning point for you guys if I remember rightly. Didn't lose a game in the World Cup for another twelve years.

Zadran is better than their woeful number 3 and 4
Sloppy stuff from Perrera
Under 100 to win...
Don't see the old 'one short' to often!
50 partnership
Brilliant reverse sweep.
Wow cracking reverse sweep.
Definitely underestimated the Afghan batting earlier when the Lankans were on a roll.

Umpire's call. The lbw stands. Crucial breakthrough but it brings Rashid to the crease.

That’s unlucky looked leg side-ish live
As Michael Holding once said it was a correct decision but not the right one - especially with the angle.
Gone! As soon as the lights take full effect, Rashid is bowled. Very much advantage Sri Lanka now.

Lol fielding
What a bizarre four! A real comedy of errors.
That's the worst fielding we'll see this world cup
Amazing the dip Malinga gets on the slower ball.
Shoaib was lethal as well with that.
And there's the famous Courtney Walsh to Thorpe and Chris Cairns to Chris Read dismissals.

Goneeeee. Right on cue. Pommie called it.
From the ridiculous to the sublime in terms of fielding!
Beautiful run out!
Huge hit!
Game over!
All over. Big missed chance for the Afghans.
I know that selection is highly political in Sri Lanka and Chandimal & Dickwella have been in poor form, but it's really hard to comprehend how they are not in this lineup.
Had to be up early so missed the whole Afghan innings, I guess not so shocked that the batting let them down, would've been good to see them win a game this tournament and that was their best chance to do it.

That to me is the worrying aspect watching Afghanistan bat. To think they made 200+ makes me wonder about what go batting line-ups might do to us.
