Afghanistan (Playing XI) - Gulbadin Naib (C), Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Asghar Afghan, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Samiullah Shinwari (IN FOR HAZRAT ZAZAI), Ikram Ali Khil (WK), Rashid Khan, Dawlat Zadran (IN FOR AFTAB ALAM), Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim(WK), Liton Das, Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain (IN FOR SABBIR RAHMAN), Mohammad Saifuddin (IN FOR RUBEL HOSSAIN), Mehidy Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza (C), Mustafizur Rahman.

Mashrafe Mortaza says they wanted to bat first, it is a used wicket. Informs they have two changes, Saifuddin comes in and Mosaddek comes in. States it is a different wicket from the pitches they played on in the last two games, it is a touch slow and they will need to adjust.

Gulbadin Naib says the overhead conditions should suit the bowling, they played the last game here so they have an idea about the wicket. Mentions the wicket gets better in the second innings. Reckons the wicket is similar and they are looking to restrict Bangladesh to a low total. Informs they have two changes. Ends by saying they had a good opportunity to beat India in the last game but could not do so but are confident heading into this game. There are two changes - Dawlat Zadran and Samiullah Shinwari come in for Aftab Alam and Hazrat Zazai.

TOSS - Up goes the coin and it lands in the favor of Afghanistan. They will bowl first.

Afghanistan finally showed what they are capable of in their last game. Yes, they did not win it but they surely gave India, a top, top side, a run for their money. They would be much more confident today against a Bangladesh side who are not as strong as the Indian side but are playing some very good cricket. It is a dead rubber for the Afghans but a lot is at stake for Bangladesh. They need to win this game if they are to keep their hopes alive of staying in the tournament. It promises to be an exciting contest. Welcome to the coverage.
