T20 World Cup 2022: Warm-up Match 12 - Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Probable XIs, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Match Prediction, and Live Streaming Details
Afghanistan and Bangladesh will lock horns in the 12th warm-up game of the T20 World Cup on Monday (October 17) at The Allan Border Field in Brisbane.
The Afghans, led by Mohammad Nabi, have been an excellent T20I team in the last few years. With the likes of Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Rashid Khan and others in their ranks, they have been a force to be reckoned with.
Afghanistan recently beat Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. Last year, the Afghans impressed but failed to reach the semis. They will look to make amends this time and go one step forward .
Bangladesh, captained by Shakib Al Hasan, have had a torrid time in T20Is over the last year or so. They have chopped and changed their lineup plenty of times. Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah Riyad aren't in the team any more.
The Tigers recently failed to win a single game in a tri-series involving New Zealand and Pakistan. They have roped in Soumya Sarkar and Shoriful Islam in place of Mohammad Saifuddin and Sabbir Rahman respectively.
