World Cup 2019: Bangladesh vs Afghanistan, preview, head to head & match details
Afghanistan occupies the rock bottom position on the points table while Bangladesh sits on the 6th position with 2 victories and 5 points.
Afghanistan who is still looking for their first victory in the 2019 World Cup tournament will face Bangladesh in the do-or-die clash at Rose Bowl Cricket Ground on Monday, June 24. Afghanistan is at the rock bottom on the points table while Bangladesh sits on the 6th position with 2 victories and 5 points.
Bangladesh has been in the good form in this tournament as the team has crossed 300 total mark multiple times. Bangladesh tried well to chase down 381 target in their last match against Australia but the former fell at the score of 333. Mushfiqur Rahim got his century against one of the best bowlers in World Cup. Bangladesh will have to win their remaining three matches and expect results of other matches to benefit them.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, is still looking for their maiden victory in the tournament. The team played well against India in the last match and bowlers made it difficult for Indian batsman to play them and restricted one of the world's best batting line under 230 score. They could draw their confidence from their last match when they take on with Afghanistan.
Gulbadin Naib will want their bowlers to show their magic once again and alert its batting department.
