Afghanistan will look to clinch their maiden ODI series victory in Bangladesh as they are set to face their Asian rivals today in the opening encounter. In their last two ODI series on Bangladesh soil, Afghanistan had to suffer 2-1 defeats on both occasions. The first ODI between Bangladesh and Afghanistan is scheduled to be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. In the ODI series, Bangladesh will be led by Tamim Iqbal, who did not take part in his side’s resounding Test victory against Afghanistan earlier this year in June. Tamim could not play in that game due to a back injury. Afghanistan have got their star performer Rashid Khan back in the squad for the ODIs. Rashid had not featured in last month’s Test against Bangladesh.
