Sri Lanka won their one-off Test match against Afghanistan by 10 wickets, but skipper and captain Kusal Mendis said Thursday they face a tougher challenge on the eve of their three-match SL vs AFG ODI series.

Afghanistan are making a name for themselves in white-ball cricket, and will take the field with several of their key stalwarts. "In ODIs, we know Afghanistan will be tougher opponents," Mendis told reporters ahead of the first match at home in Kandy on Friday.
