🏏Asia Cup 2022: Bangladesh vs Afghanistan 🏏 - Page 4

Jasim: "Winning the toss might play a bigger role here as the pitch a lot to the bowlers at the beginning " Indeed, there's also concern over possible dew later in the evening. Chasing might be the way to go.

Baryalay: "Srilankan will support Afghanistan team as it will ease pressure on them then they will need just to beat Bangladesh to qualify for the super 4." Not only will Sri Lanka need to beat Bangladesh, but the margin of victory will have to be substantial to overturn their abysmal net run rate.

Mahir: "Hello from Perth Australia! Ready to see how Bangladesh perform today heading into their first t20 of the tournament. I feel like their performance today will set the momentum for the rest of the games so hopefully for them they can get off to a positive start. I believe it's Shakibs 100th t20 as well so hopefully it's a memorable one!"

Russel Arnold has the pitch report: "Hardly any grass in the pitch today. Pitch is on the slower side, so if you hit the deck it will hold up. As the game goes on, keep the pace off, vary it. Batters need to play themselves in. Win the toss and chase."

Faridullah Tanv: "As much as l know about sharjah cricket ground, the boundries are short but the ball does not come to bat well.so we will see if the afghanistan openers can keep the momentum."

Toss in 2 minutes.

Is it that easy to win the toss and win the match?

Afghanistan is a clear favourite anyway. To make the match interesting, I want BD to win the toss.

Cheers..

Can Shakib inspire Tigers to victory in his 100th T20I match?

Batting or bowling, you didn't tell na?!

Mohammad Nabi: The way we played last game was brilliant, the morale of the team is high and we want to play the same way today. Same team today. Maybe it will be a bit low today, this pitch. We will look to keep them to a low total.

Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to bat

Shakib Al Hasan: We will bat first. It will be difficult for Afghanistan, so that is what we will look to do. We have three seamers and two spinners - so our bowling is pretty much covered. Afghanistan is a very good side in T20 format, we have prepared well for their bowlers hopefully we can show what we can do.
