Bangladesh – Afghanistan is going to face each other today in the fight for Asia’s cricket supremacy. Afghanistan beat Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in their first match, but Team Bangladesh’s Asia Cup starts today. Afghanistan’s star spinner Rashid Khan came to the press conference before the match. This spinner also talked about the Sri Lankan captain’s explosive statement about Bangladesh.
After losing the first match to Afghanistan by 8 wickets, Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka said, “Afghanistan’s bowling attack is world class. On the other hand, in Bangladesh’s bowling attack, Mustafizur Rahman is a very good bowler. Shakib Al Hasan is world class. Apart from that, there is no world class bowler in their team. Match against Bangladesh would be easier than the match against Afghanistan.”
Shanaka’s statement caused a storm of criticism in cricket circles. When reporters asked Rashid Khan’s opinion on this matter, he said, “We never think of our opponent as an easy or strong team. And we know what kind of team Bangladesh is. They are ready to turn the direction of the match at any time.”
Afghans are in a very happy mood after winning the first match against the Lankans. Nabi’s team is emerging as the new cricket power of Asia. On the other hand, Bangladesh is the runner-up team of the last 4 Asia Cups. Bangladesh team is expecting good results under the leadership of Shakib. Bangladesh-Afghanistan match will start at 8 pm Bangladesh time.
