The first ODI of a three match series between Afghanistan and Bangladesh will take place on Wednesday, November 6, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Both teams are keen to get a quick jump start in order to build their momentum, as they view the series as important practice before the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.
Afghanistan led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, a team that has come to this series with a lot of confidence after winning its first ever ODI series against South Africa by 2-1 in October of 2022.
On the other hand, Bangladesh is also determined to bounce back and recover from a series of unfortunate events that saw them lose two consecutive Test series (0-2) against India and South Africa in the last few months. The Tigers are therefore presented with a chance in this ODI tournament to put their house in order as far as performance and confidence are concerned.
