Bangladesh Preview

Bangladesh began this tournament in a promising way after securing a 7-wicket win over Hong Kong in their first game, before losing their second game by six wickets to Sri Lanka. The Bengal suffered from early wickets, but Jaker Ali and Shamim Hossain's impressive unbeaten 86-run partnership helped their side reach a total of 139. Aside from this positivity, the role of Litton Das since the start of this competition has been commendable, scoring a half-century against Hong Kong and a respectable 28 in the Sri Lanka match. The captain will continue to be one of the strongholds of the team.

Afghanistan Preview

Afghanistan looks ready to make it two in two in this clash after recording a 94-run win over Hong Kong in their last game. They started the game poorly, reeling at 95 for six, but their innings was rescued by the exceptional partnership of Sediq Atal and Azmatullah Omarzai. Atal's unbeaten 73 anchored the recovery, while Omarzai's 53 off just 21 balls pushed them to a commanding total of 178. Their bowlers then took control, and captain Rashid Khan was notable, taking 1 for 20 from his four overs and continuing a 2025 T20I streak of conceding under seven runs per over.

It’s a fight to finish for both sides, and with qualification at stake, I will stick with the over market in this game. Also, I think Bangladesh captain Litton Das will continue his excellent run in this game, having shown himself to be the tournament's leading run-scorer for the team. He opened his account this year with a match-winning 59 against Hong Kong and added 28 against Sri Lanka. No doubt he will be the top batter for his side.
