Bangladesh bowls against Afghanistan to take top spot
DHAKA, Sept 15, 2019 (BSS)- Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan won the toss
and decided to bat first against Bangladesh in their second match of the Tri-
nation T20 series at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Both Afghanistan and Bangladesh won their first match against Zimbabwe and
thereby would battle to take the top spot of the tournament.
Whoever wins the match would make them favourite to move into the final.
Standing on that equation, both teams, however, fielded their unchanged
side from the first match.
While Bangladesh huffed and puffed their way to beat Zimbabwe by three
wickets after the heroics of 19-year old Afif Hossain, Afghanistan
comfortably crushed the Southern African nations by 28 runs.
