While Afghanistan would like to avenge the loss, their captain Rashid Khan has made it clear that the result is not the team's main focus in the upcoming series.

Speaking ahead of the series-opener, the star leg-spinner stated that his team would be focusing more on preparing for next year's T20 World Cup. At the same time, Rashid also stated that the team is not taking the series lightly.

"I think every game is very competitive. It is not like we did not play competitive cricket in Asia Cup. For us, each and every game is competitive. We are not here just to have fun, enjoy, and then go back. We have a target, and the target is how we are going to be a perfect and balanced side for the next World Cup and that's the mindset from now on," Rashid said.

On the other hand, Bangladesh would look to continue their fine run in T20Is in recent times. The Bangla Tigers have shown signs of resurgence in recent times and will be hoping to come up with a good performance in the upcoming series.

In the Asia Cup, they could not qualify for the final after losing some close contests and would be keen to come up with a better performance in the upcoming series.
