Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Highlights today, Wednesday 5-7-2023. 1st ODI (D/N), Afghanistan tour of Bangladesh 2023, Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram.
Hashmatullah Shahidi: We will bowl first because there’s moisture in the pitch and first ten overs will be important. We were in Abu Dhabi for two weeks, we prepared well for this series there. We are trying to do our best to take positivity. Rashid coming in is great too. I think restricting them under 250 would be good. Three seamers and spinners, one of the seamers is an allrounder.
Tamim Iqbal: Happy to bat first. Pitch looks green. We want to keep playing like we have in the last 6-7 ODIs. First ten overs will be challenging, middle overs will offer plenty to score. The preparations have been great. We have Afif coming in as the seventh batter.
Toss: Afghanistan, elected to field first.
