Live Scores - Bangladesh vs Afghanistan - 1st T20I

Recent T20I Form Bangladesh:

Bangladesh have not been in a great form in the T20I format. After a dismal performance at the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of the Pakistan national cricket team. Their form before the T20 World Cup was at its peak when they defeated Australia by a huge margin of 5-0 in a bilateral T20I series. If the current form is to be considered, Bangladesh will have to play their A game in order to pose out a challenge to the Afghanistan cricket team.

Recent T20I Form Afghanistan:

Afghanistan had a great outing at the T20 World Cup with the likes of Gurbaz and Mujeeb Ur Rahman rising to the occasion. Prior to the T20 World Cup, Afghanistan defeated Zimbabwe by 3-0 and Ireland by 2-0 in a bilateral T20I series. Afghanistan have world class T20I players in their squad and are a tough side to beat.

Afghanistan and Bangladesh against each other:

First time both these teams faced off against each other was in 2014, when Bangladesh clinched the match by 9 wickets. The next 4 encounters were won by Afghanistan convincingly. The last match played between both the teams was in 2019, in which Bangladesh won.
