Bangladesh and Afghanistan are set to resume their cricket tour with a three-match ODI series starting on July 5. The series will be an important platform for both teams to prepare for the upcoming ODI World Cup later this year. The matches will take place at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram, Bangladesh.
The tour between Bangladesh and Afghanistan began last month with a One-off Test match, which Bangladesh won convincingly by 546 runs. Now, the focus shifts to the 50-over format, where both teams will look to fine-tune their skills and strategies for the global tournament.
For Bangladesh, this will be their first ODI assignment since May when they secured a series victory against Ireland. The team will be boosted by the return of key players Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal, who missed the Test match. On the other hand, Afghanistan will be eager to bounce back from their 1-2 series defeat against Sri Lanka last month. Star spinner Rashid Khan will be back in the squad, adding strength to their lineup.
The ODI series will take place on July 5, July 8, and July 11, with all three matches being played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. The matches are scheduled to start at 2 PM local time (1:30 PM IST) on each respective day.
While there won’t be any TV channel broadcasting the series in India, fans can still catch the action through live streaming on Fancode. Viewers can purchase a match pass for Rs 25 or opt for a tour pass, which includes all six white-ball matches, for Rs 79.
