Afghanistan and Bangladesh Aim to Bounce Back in Sharjah T20I Series
2 Oct
Summary
- Afghanistan and Bangladesh face off in a 3-match T20I series
- Both teams struggled with batting in the recent Asia Cup 2025
- Series seen as chance to rebuild confidence before T20 World Cup 2026
Afghanistan and Bangladesh are set to face off in a three-match T20I series starting on October 2 in Sharjah. Both teams will be aiming to bounce back from their underwhelming performances in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2025.
In the Asia Cup, Afghanistan struggled significantly with their batting, which ultimately led to an early exit from the tournament. On the other hand, Bangladesh fell short in their power-hitting abilities, losing to Pakistan in a virtual semi-final game in Dubai.
This series presents an opportunity for both teams to rebuild their confidence and prepare for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Without their regular captain Litton Das, Bangladesh will look to address the issues in their batting lineup, especially against the likes of Rashid Khan and other Afghan bowlers.
The first T20I match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh will be played on October 2 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, with the action set to begin at 8:30 pm IST. The series will be broadcast on Eurosport, and fans can also catch the live streaming on the FanCode app and website.
