Match Preview

Bangladesh has already participated in one game in the tournament, which unfortunately ended in a loss. They are now eager to mount a comeback. In contrast, Afghanistan has yet to make its debut in the tournament and lacks recent form, having lost four out of their last five matches in this format.

In their previous match, Bangladesh faced Sri Lanka, where they won the toss and chose to bat. However, this decision did not yield the desired results as their innings did not commence as strongly as they had hoped. While Najmul Hossain Shanto delivered a noteworthy performance at one end, he received limited support from his teammates. Consequently, Bangladesh was dismissed for a modest total of 164 runs. In the chase, Sri Lanka also faced early setbacks and appeared to be in trouble. Nevertheless, Samarawickrama and Asalanka both scored half-centuries, steering Sri Lanka back on course and securing a five-wicket victory.
