Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, One-off Test – The Tech Word News

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat against Afghanistan in the Test match at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said the dry pitch was one of the reasons he chose to bat first. He expects batting to become more difficult as the match progresses, with the surface likely to offer more turns on days two and three.

“It looks dry and I think day two, day three it’s going to turn around and then the course will be a little slower than it normally is here,” Shanto said.

Bangladesh will go into the match with three spinners and two fast bowlers. Shanto said the team had prepared for the attack in Afghanistan with quality rotation and hoped to put in a consistent performance.

“Yeah, of course, I think we played some great cricket. But we have to be consistent enough as a team and this is another opportunity to show our ability,” he said.
