Afghanistan and Bangladesh Go Head to Head in Crucial Super Eight Match for World Cup Qualification

Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan has just won the toss in their last Super Eight match against Bangladesh. This means that they will be batting first, while Bangladesh will be fielding. The lineup for Afghanistan remains unchanged from their previous game against Australia, while Taskin Ahmed and Soumya Sarkar have returned to the Bangladesh team in place of Jaker Ali and Mahedi Hasan.

The outcome of this match is crucial for Afghanistan: a win would see them advance at the expense of Australia, who lost to India earlier. On the other hand, if Bangladesh wins, Australia will still have a chance to make it through to the knockout stages.

The playing XIs for the match are as follows:

Afghanistan XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan (c), Mohammad Nabi, Nangeyalia Kharote, Noor Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi

Bangladesh XI: Litton Das (wk), Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah Riyad, Soumya Sarkar, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed
