Match Preview
Bangladesh started their campaign with a powerful victory over Hong Kong, which was spearheaded by the skipper Litton Das who scored 59 off 39 balls. They, however, lost to Sri Lanka, where they could only score 139/5 before Pathum Nissanka scored 50 to lead the Lankans to win by 6 wickets. Afghanistan, however, opened well with a 94-run victory over Hong Kong owing to the unbeaten 73 of Sediqullah Atal and 53 of Azmatullah Omarzai.
Core stakeholders will play a major role in this battle. In the case of Bangladesh, the top-order consistency of Litton Das, the all-around brilliance of Shakib Al Hasan, and the pace of Mustafizur Rahman are some of the most important ones. Afghanistan will be relying on their batters who are currently in form, Atal and Omarzai, and the spin attack of Rashid Khan to continue the winning streaks. As Sri Lanka led Group B, Bangladesh needed to win in Abu Dhabi to retain its Asia Cup 2025 campaign.
