Bangladesh on 25 September bagged a thrilling seven-run win in the first one of the three-match One-Day International (ODI) series against Afghanistan in Dhaka.

The Tigers are waiting to celebrate their 100th ODI win as well as the series win as they are ready to take on Afghanistan in the second ODI on Wednesday.

On the other hand, Afghanistan look forward to keep their hopes of winning yet another overseas series alive.

The match is scheduled to begin on local time 2:30pm at the same venue, Shere Bangla Stadium, Mirpur Dhaka.

‘The series is of equal importance to both the teams and Afghanistan’s history of cricket says they are not the ones to back off without a fight. As the touring party will strive hard to show the hosts their prowess, one can easily expect a crunch match knocking at the door’, reports cricketcountry.com.

‘Afghanistan though lost the match, won hearts with their performance. Not everything went wrong in the previous encounter, for that matter, both the teams looked equally equipped with up to the mark bowling and batting performance.’

‘However, Afghanistan’s bowling, which was being considered to be the key, lacked discipline and that is where they lost the battle to Bangladesh.’
