Cricket World Cup 2023: The ODI World Cup in India has begun and we have had two exciting nail-biting thrillers already. Now, the focus is on matchday 3 which is also a doubleheader as Afghanistan will take on Bangladesh in Dharamsala and South Africa will face the might Sri Lanka team. Bangladesh might be seen as underdogs but their head coach Chandika Hathurusingha revealed their intention of winning this World Cup.
"We all want to win the World Cup. Realistically if we win 4-5 games, we give ourselves the chance to get into the semifinals. That is our first aim. To do that, I think we have a good enough team," Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha. (BAN vs AFG Weather Report From Dharmashala: Will Rain Play Spoilsport?)
"Our players played a lot in IPL. Other players who didn't play IPL have also played in these conditions because India was our home. We know about the conditions and we will take that advantage with us throughout the tournament," said Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi.
It is true, so many players like Naveen-ul-Haq, Rahnulaah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan and more have experience of Indian conditions. Surely, the team will look to take full advantage of that fact in this tournament.
