Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in the second and final T20I of the two-match series at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Sunday (July 16). Afghanistan lost the first T20I by two wickets, and Bangladesh currently leads the series (1-🌱0).
Speaking of the previous encounter between the two sides, Towhid Hridoy shined for the hosts in their victory and smashed a brilliant 47 runs to get his team across the line in a last-over thriller. Among bowlers, Bangladesh skipper Shakib al Hasan picked two wickets for his side in the first innings. On the other hand, Mohammad Nabi (54) top-scored for his team, with Karim Janat bagging three scalps. However, Nabi and Janat’s efforts went in vain, as the Afghan side lost the contest.
Bangladesh will look toꦗ register a series-clinching victory over visitors on Sunday. Meanwhile, Afghanistan would be determined to draw the leg.
