Preview :

6.41pmIt's time for the 2-match T20I series to test the mettle of Bangladesh and Afghanistan. This is one format in which the Afghans would feel a lot at home and a consolation win in the last ODI would have given them some healthy confidence. Their squad has quite a few players who ply their trade all around the globe in T20 franchise cricket. That's the reason, they are looking quite settled and balanced, at least on paper. Afghanistan's approach usually in this format has been the opposite to ODIs, where they adopt caution over aggression, as they focus more on attacking with the bat right from the start, then maintaining the intensity in the middle overs before pulling the trigger at the death. The presence of players like Hazratullah Zazaiand Rahmanullah Gurbazhand them that option, and we all know what Najibullah Zadranand Mohammad Nabiare capable of, especially at the backend. The Afghan bowling is their main strength, more than it's in 50-over cricket. Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman andMohammad Nabiform a tricky trio and their 12 overs of gold can choke most teams. The emergence of Azmatullah Omarzai, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Fareed Ahmadin the pace department adds another dimension to their bowling attack and overall Afghanistan look well-oiled for this particular format. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will continue to have the advantage of playing in their own backyard although the conditions are going to be equally friendly for the Afghans. Most of their players are coming off a successful season in the Bangladesh Premier League and the newbies in the squad would want to create an impression in the international arena. Mahmudullahwill take over the mantle of captaincy and he will have Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahimto provide experience to the batting department which looks slightly undercooked with new faces getting a chance. The bowling attack though remains potent with Mustafizur Rahmanspearheading a quality pace attack comprising of Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islamand Shohidul Islam. Nasum Ahmedis one trump card for Bangladesh whose frugal value in the Powerplay is well-known by now and he will look to relish in that role. These two teams are appearing to be at the same level and that makes this contest an exciting one.
