Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Key battles:
Parvez Hossain Emon vs Fazalhaq Farooqi
Bangladesh's opening batter Parvez Hossain Emon would look to get some runs under his belt after getting out for a duck in the previous match against Sri Lanka.
Parvez will go head-to-head against Fazalhaq Farooqi, who will take the new ball for Afghanistan and will aim at picking up early wickets for the team.
Towhid Hridoy vs Rashid Khan
Talented middle-order batter Towhid Hridoy, who was dismissed without making a significant contribution to the team's score in the last outing, would want to do that in an important game against Afghanistan.
Hridoy will have to tackle the bowling of Rashid Khan, who will look to lead from the front as the captain of the team.
Sediqullah Atal vs Shoriful Islam
Sediqullah Atal has been in good form in the last few matches that Afghanistan has played in the T20I format of the game since he has started to open the innings, and would like to continue to have that impact against Bangladesh.
Atal will be up against experienced fast bowler Shoriful Islam, who will have to take the responsibility of picking wickets in the first six overs for Bangladesh.
Ibrahim Zadran vs Mustafizur Rahman
Ibrahim Zadran has been the mainstay of Afghanistan's batting lineup for quite some time and would like to put that experience to good use while batting at number three.
Zadran will face the challenge of Mustafizur Rahman, who is known for his accurate bowling in all phases of the innings.
