The T20 World Cup 2024 match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh is taking place today. Afghanistan’s captain, Rashid Khan, has won the toss and has decided to bat first against Bangladesh in their final Super Eight match. Despite no changes in the lineup for Afghanistan compared to their previous game against Australia, Bangladesh has brought back Taskin Ahmed and Soumya Sarkar in place of Jaker Ali and Mahedi Hasan.
The stakes are high for Afghanistan as they need to win this match in order to advance to the next stage of the tournament. If they do, they will move on at the expense of Australia, who lost to India in a previous match. However, Australia will be hoping for a Bangladesh victory, but not by a large margin as the Tigers are still in contention in the tournament.
The playing XIs for today’s match are as follows:
Afghanistan XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan (c), Mohammad Nabi, Nangeyalia Kharote, Noor Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi
Bangladesh XI: Litton Das (wk), Tanzid Hasan
