The start of this season of Asia Cup was not good for Bangladesh. Tigers lost to Sri Lanka by 5 wickets. And with the bitter taste of this defeat, the Shakib Al Hasan army is on the way to Pakistan. Hathurusingha’s disciples will take the field against Afghanistan in their second and last match in the group stage.
Bangladesh team is going to Pakistan today (Friday) from Sri Lanka. Shakib will face Afghanistan next Sunday. The match will start at 3:30 pm Bangladesh time. If they lose on this day, the Tigers will be eliminated directly.
It should be noted that in the first match against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh’s innings stopped at just 164 runs for all the wickets after winning the toss and batting. In response, the Lankans did not have to get much momentum when they came down to bat. Sri Lanka reached the port of victory with 5 wickets and 66 balls in hand.
