Pitch Report - Farveez Maharoof highlights the extreme heat in Abu Dhabi, noting temperatures could reach 40°C and test both players and umpires. He describes the pitch as hard underneath with dry, brown grass, making it ideal for batting over the first two days before it begins to turn around day three. He calls Bangladesh's decision to bat first an obvious choice, advising them to bat freely for the first five sessions and aim for over 450 runs. For Afghanistan, he stresses the importance of using the new ball effectively to take early wickets.

A quick word - Mehidy Hasan Miraz is in for a quick chat. He considers his all-round role at number seven vital and focuses on contributing runs consistently for the team. Playing their first Test in Abu Dhabi, he makes no excuses for the hot weather and expects conditions to favor spinners. While he cherishes Bangladesh's historic win against Australia in Darwin, he leaves it in the past and carries that confidence and strong preparation into the new match.

Afghanistan (Playing XI) - Abdul Malik, Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah (C), Hashmatullah Shahidi, Ikram Alikhil (WK), Zia-ur-Rehman, Shahidullah Kamal, Yamin Ahmadzai, Qais Ahmad, Ismat Alam, Mohammad Saleem.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Shadman Islam, Tanzid Hasan, Mominul Haque, Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das (WK), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Hasan Mahmud, Taijul Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Nayeem Hasan.

The captain of Afghanistan - Rahmat Shah says that he is feeling proud and that they will try to play good cricket. He respects Bangladesh as a strong, capable opponent and stresses the need for discipline and consistency. For the bowlers, he highlights the importance of maintaining consistency and targeting the right areas by bowling stump-to-stump.

The captain of Bangladesh - Najmul Hossain Shanto says that they will bat first as it's a dry wicket. He feels his team is playing well, stresses the need for consistency, and remains confident in their preparation against a strong Afghanistan spin attack. Shanto expects the pitch to play slower than usual and begin turning from day two or three. To exploit these conditions they will go with three spinners and two pacers.

TOSS - Bangladesh have won the toss and will BAT first.

Desert battle ready to roll - The surface in Abu Dhabi looks hard and dry, promising plenty of assistance for the bowlers as the match moves along. With neither side willing to take a backward step in this standalone encounter, can Bangladesh continue their winning ways, or will a determined Afghanistan rise to the challenge and claim bragging rights? Do not go anywhere because the toss is coming up next...

Bangladesh aiming for ruthless consistency - Bangladesh will want to avoid any complacency against an understrength opponent and sharpen their top order execution. While Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque arrive in fine touch, finding a stable opening start remains crucial. The visitors must replicate their recent grit, relying on the vast experience of Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das to control the tempo while their versatile bowling attack keeps things tight from the very start.

Afghanistan seeking fresh heroes - For Afghanistan, the big learning from their previous red ball outings is the absolute necessity of patience at the crease. Without big names like Rashid Khan, Ibrahim Zadran, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the remaining lineup must dig deep and avoid hasty collapses. Every batter needs to step up and build solid partnerships, giving recalled domestic performers like Yamin Ahmadzai and Shahidullah Kamal a solid platform to apply pressure.

Hello and welcome to Abu Dhabi! A warm welcome to cricket lovers around the globe as we come to you live from the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi for this one off clash in Tests between Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The head to head ledger stands dead level at 1-1, and both sides enter the desert with a massive point to prove. Bangladesh arrive with high spirits after a memorable tour of Australia, while Afghanistan aim to assert themselves in familiar territory under new skipper Rahmat Shah.

... DAY 1, SESSION 1 ...

Fresh captain, fresh challenge - Afghanistan open their home season in the UAE with a new man at the helm, as Rahmat Shah takes charge for his first full-time Test captaincy stint after succeeding Hashmatullah Shahidi. He leads a squad that blends experience with youth, though the great leg-spinner Rashid Khan is still being rested from the longest format. Bangladesh arrive in a confident mood under Najmul Hossain Shanto, having drawn a historic series in Australia, where they also recorded their first-ever Test win on Australian soil. It's the first time Bangladesh will play a Test in the UAE, so the desert is new territory for them. One win apiece, and both were extreme - These two have met in the longest format only twice, and neither match was close. Afghanistan won in Chattogram in September 2019 by 224 runs, with Rahmat Shah scoring a century in the first innings and Rashid Khan taking five-for in both innings. Bangladesh answered in Mirpur in June 2023 with a 546-run win, the largest margin in their Test history and the third-biggest Test victory by runs ever. The series stands level at 1-1. Leading from the front - The captains were central figures in both games. Rahmat Shah scored Afghanistan's first-ever Test century in that 2019 win. Shanto, now Bangladesh's skipper, hit centuries in both innings of the 2023 demolition. Each knows exactly what it takes to dominate the other. Home comforts, but not home soil - Afghanistan will play in these conditions for the first time since 2021, and Abu Dhabi has a familiar feel. Their last outing there was against the Chevrons, where the sides traded a win each. Hashmatullah Shahidi, still in the Test squad, knows the surface well, having stroked a monumental 246 on UAE soil. But the captain-turned-anchor arrives short on runs, having struggled for form since 2025. Team form (Last five Test matches, most recent first) - AFG - LLWLL | BAN LWLWW. What to watch - Bangladesh's batting looks strong, with Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the squad, but the UAE tends to suit spin, and Afghanistan's slow bowlers will fancy their chances. With Rashid resting, the spotlight falls on how Afghanistan's spinners manage without him. After Bangladesh's Australian heroics, this match is a test of whether they can adapt to turning tracks.
