The Super Eight match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh is currently taking place in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan won the toss and decided to bat first. The Afghan lineup remained the same as their previous game against Australia, while Bangladesh made two changes, bringing back Taskin Ahmed and Soumya Sarkar in place of Jaker Ali and Mahedi Hasan.
The equation for Afghanistan is clear: a win would see them advance at the expense of Australia, who lost to India earlier. However, Australia will be hoping for a Bangladesh victory, but not by a large margin, as the Tigers still have a chance to make it through to the next stage.
The playing XIs for the match are as follows:
Afghanistan XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan (c), Mohammad Nabi, Nangeyalia Kharote, Noor Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi
Bangladesh XI: Litton Das (wk), Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah Riyad, Soumya Sarkar
