Table Topper Afghanistan will now collide against Bangladesh in the sixth fixture of Bangladesh Tri-Series 2019 at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram on Saturday.
Well before squaring off against Bangladesh, Afghanistan would want to keep their momentum alive when they face off Zimbabwe in the fifth fixture which is set to be played today.
At present, Afghan boys would be highly motivated after seeing themselves at the peak of the table with three wins in three games.
Meanwhile, placed second at the points table, Bangladesh have won two out of three games and the only loss was against Afghanistan. Now they have a clear opportunity for the retribution.
The match is set to begin at 6:00 PM IST.
Date & Time: Friday, 21 September 2019
Venue: Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram
The team batting first has an upper hand here. The pitch offers equal assistance to the batsmen and the bowlers. Scores near 150 is easy to defend.
AFGH Won: 4
BAN Won: 1
