The 2nd T20I match played between Bangladesh and Afghanistan will be held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. The match will be kicked off on 5th March (Saturday) at 15:00 (GMT+6).
Both sides will play the final T20I of the series today, bringing the Afghanistan tour of Bangladesh to a close. Bangladesh won the first match of this two-match series and will be aiming for a whitewash, something they failed to achieve in the ODI series.
On the other hand, Afghanistan would like to see the spinners, particularly Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammed Nabi perform better. In the first encounter, they both failed to pick a wicket. Afghanistan has bounced back from two consecutive ODI losses and could do so again in this match.
Weather
Dhaka will be quite hot, with a high of 33 degrees celsius.
Pitch
The pitch at this venue is likely to provide a lot of assistance to the spinners, and batsmen may find it difficult to score even average runs. During the second half, the surface may slow down and the side that wins the toss will opt to bat.

When the teams competed in the T20 World Cup at the end of last year, Bangladesh appeared to be lacking in ideas, while Afghanistan was playing a thrilling kind of cricket. However, Bangladesh was significantly superior on Thursday, and we believe they will win this match as well.
