After winning the ODI series 2-1, Afghanistan will look to continue their dominance over Bangladesh in the two-match T20 series which gets underway with the first T20I at the Sylhet International Stadium in Sylhet on Friday. Bangladesh managed to get a consolation seven-wicket win over Afghanistan in the third T20I earlier this week.
Bangladesh will be led by all-rounder Shakib al Hasan, who replaces Litton Das as skipper from the ODI series. They have lost two out of their last three matches against the Afghans since last year. In the last match between the two sides, in Asia Cup 2022, Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets in Sharjah.
The Afghans will be led by Gujarat Titans all-rounder Rashid Khan. “We played well in the last two home series but this is a new challenge for us,” Shakib al Hasan said on the eve of the first T20I match.
“Afghanistan is definitely a good team. We want to perform in the way we have recently played cricket. We are not thinking about any particular individual. We are also not relying on a particular batter or bowler. We want to win through a team performance, but we will try to keep our intention intact,” he added.
