Afghans will look to start their campaign with a victory. Keep watching this space for all latest updates from this match.
Bangladesh secured a convincing victory, significantly enhancing their chances of advancing to the Super Fours.

Contributions from Shakib and Mushfiq were equally vital in this impressive batting performance.
In response, Afghanistan stumbled early with the loss of Gurbaz.

Shahidi managed to notch a fifty as well, but Afghanistan never posed a substantial threat throughout the match.
