Afghanistan national cricket team has visited Bangladesh several times. Apart from this, Afgara has also faced the Red Greens in various big events. Nabi-Rashid knows the Nadi Nakshatra of Shakib-Mushfiq very well. The Afghan captain thinks that it will be very useful in the upcoming match.
Afghanistan's second match in the ongoing Asia Cup is against Bangladesh on Tuesday. The match will start at 8 pm Bangladesh time at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Earlier, the team started its mission of excellence in Asia by blowing away Sri Lanka. Afghanistan won by 8 wickets against Dasun Shanaka Army in the opening match.
Afghanistan often have to play matches in the United Arab Emirates as international cricket is not played in their own country. Afghans have made Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium their home venue since last year. That's why the team has a good idea about the conditions of the desert country. Which is very useful for Afghanistan in the match.
Nabi said in the press conference, "We have played a lot of cricket in Bangladesh. We know everything there. I don't know yet how the pitch will be for our upcoming match against the team (Sharjah). Sometimes the batting is tracked, sometimes the spinners get a lot of help. Bangladesh team also played many matches in Sharjah. We also played a lot of matches.
Nabi said about the extraordinary victory against Sri Lanka, 'We played extraordinary cricket against Sri Lanka. It is not that it happened by accident. We are planning for the Asia Cup. I came here and adapted to the conditions by working hard. The team combination was also good. Now waiting for the next match. I want to do well there too.
Shakib-Mushfiq may also have to face the challenge against Nabi-Rashid-Farooquid. However, Mehdi Miraj told the Afghan bowler's way of playing.
Miraj said, Afghan bowlers cannot be played with hesitation. They have to play with an open mind. He thinks batting will be important in this match.
Regarding the challenge of the Afghan bowling attack, Miraz said, "Their bowlers are good. But we will play them with a clear mind. If I am confused I will never succeed. You need to keep your mind clear especially at the international level. And you have to have confidence in what you do.
According to Mirage, the batsmen will decide the fate of the match regardless of the wicket. This all-rounder said, 'They will also get the advantage that we will get if there is a spinning (wicket). Because they also have good spin attack, Alhamdulillah we also have good spin attack. So we have to see who is batting well on that wicket. Those who bat well will have more chances of getting results.
