The two-match T20I series between Bangladesh and Afghanistan will take place at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet.
After a disappointing ODI series, Bangladesh will be eager to bounce back. The visitors, on the other hand, are riding high after securing their first-ever bilateral series win over Bangladesh.
Led by the experienced Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh will be looking to put up a strong showing in the T20I series. Shakib's leadership and all-round skills will be crucial to their success. Alongside him, young talents like Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, and Mehedi Hasan Miraz will be expected to step up and deliver match-winning performances.
Afghanistan will be led by the dynamic Rashid Khan, who has been a key figure in their recent success. Rashid's ability to lead from the front and contribute with both bat and ball will be vital. Afghanistan's spin attack, consisting of talented youngsters Noor Ahmad and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, will pose a significant challenge for the Bangladeshi batters. However, the left-arm quick Naveen-ul-Haq was ruled out of the T20I series due to a knee injury and was replaced by Nijat Masood.
Bangladesh will be determined to turn the tide in their favor while Afghanistan will aim to continue their dominant form.
