Afghanistan to host Bangladesh for a three-match ODI series in November 2024

[hassan918]

Kabul: September 29, 2024: The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) confirms that it will host Bangladesh for a series of three One Day International (ODI) matches from November 06 – 11 in the United Arab Emirates.

The three-match ODI series will begin on the 6th of November, with the 2nd and 3rd ODIs scheduled to be played on the 9th and 11th of November, respectively, in the United Arab Emirates. The exact venue is yet to be finalized.

These three ODIs, along with three T20Is and two Tests, were originally part of Afghanistan’s Future Tour Program (FTP) and scheduled for July-August this year. However, the series was postponed due to extreme heat in the UAE and India, where ACB usually hosts its home events.

Following extensive discussions, both boards have agreed to proceed with just the ODI leg, which will be crucial in both teams' preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy which is set to take place in Pakistan in February next year.

AfghanAtalan recently secured a historic 2-1 series victory over South Africa and are set to tour Zimbabwe in December for an all-format series against the home side.

Series Schedule:

1st ODI: Wed, Nov 06
2nd ODI:Sat, Nov 09
3rd ODI: Mon, Nov 11

Nice.

ODI series between these two sides are generally competitive (based on past few series).

 

[Devadwal]

Good for Afghanistan to play as much as odi before CT. They are real dark horse of CT.

If they win any matches against top team in champions trophy then it will be not a upset.

They recently beat South Africa now im backing them against Bangladesh to Win the series .

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh and Afghanistan have played 3 ODI series before. BD won 2 and Afghanistan won 1.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

why not in India this time?

 

[Dhakar Pola]

First Match of the three match ODI series has started

Afg are batting first and 8/1 currently

Can Bangladesh do something in their favorite format to beat Afghanistan to save some face after the trashing from India and SA recently

 

[mominsaigol]

A good match between 2 evenly matched teams

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Sediqullah Atal coming to this match on back of 6 straight half centuries in T20.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

A good match between 2 evenly matched teams

Afghanistan is better. even it pains me to say that the truth

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Afghanistan 30/2 now

 

[khyberlion]

Awful start.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Big wicket of Atal followed by omarazai, Fizz on fire

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Awful start.

are you from Afghanistan?

 

[khyberlion]

are you from Afghanistan?

Parents from Pakistan and Afghanistan so I support both.

 

[khyberlion]

These 2 needs to take it to the 35th over at least.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Deep trouble for Afghanistan 4 down for literally nothing score.

 

[sweep_shot]

Deep trouble for Afghanistan 4 down for literally nothing score.

Sharjah's sluggish pitch. I expect it to be low-scoring.

 

[sweep_shot]

Afghans lose their 5th wicket.

AFG - 71/5 (20 overs).

 

[BouncerGuy]

200+ here is needed. But It could be a low-scoring thriller if they somehow cross 150

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Sharjah's sluggish pitch. I expect it to be low-scoring.

sluggish pitch may suit our ATG batting

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Hope Bangladesh smash them

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Alikhil should play ahead of Gulbadin in this format. He can take the gloves off Gurbaz and free Gurbaz up.

 

[khyberlion]

Alikhil should play ahead of Gulbadin in this format. He can take the gloves off Gurbaz and free Gurbaz up.

He's quite poor in all honesty.

 

[Mainul]

sluggish pitch may suit our ATG batting

200 plus enough for AFG against this atg side.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

200 plus enough for AFG against this atg side.

I think already Afg have the winning total

 

[Mainul]

Rishad is a garbage spinner

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Rishad is a garbage spinner

Looked like second coming of Rashid in the USA crap pitches

 

[Mainul]

Looked like second coming of Rashid in the USA crap pitches

Thats inevitable. 31 wickets in 21 FC matches show his skill level

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He's quite poor in all honesty.

Afghans can't play this lineup and expect to improve.

Rahmat, Hashmat ullah are also too slow through the middle overs.

With Zadran comes back, I don't think Atal should make way for him

 

[RidiculousMan]

Nabi performing after a long time with the bat

 

[RidiculousMan]

Afghans can't play this lineup and expect to improve.

Rahmat, Hashmat ullah are also too slow through the middle overs.

With Zadran comes back, I don't think Atal should make way for him

Zadran is the perfect no. 3 for them. Hashmatullah or Rahmat should be the one to make way for him

 

[Dhakar Pola]

out of mahmudullah and rishad they bowled 10 overs for 57/0..on this sluggish pitch this can make the match

 

[Devadwal]

Sharjah pitch is assist spinners and left arm spinner Mustafizur rehman taken 4 wicket already

 

[Dhakar Pola]

match winning innings from nabi the old timer

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Nabi deserved a century here

 

[Dhakar Pola]

kharote has added some very valuable runs here, though 200 was enough to beat our world class batting

 

[sweep_shot]

235 is competitive in Sharjah.

BD have to bat very well to win this one.

 

[sweep_shot]

Afghans reached 235 from 71/5.

Good finish.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Zadran is the perfect no. 3 for them. Hashmatullah or Rahmat should be the one to make way for him

Yep. That's what I think too.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

out of mahmudullah and rishad they bowled 10 overs for 57/0..on this sluggish pitch this can make the match

Didn't Mahmudullah retire ?

 

[sweep_shot]

Didn't Mahmudullah retire ?

Retired from Test and T20 only. Not ODI.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Thats inevitable. 31 wickets in 21 FC matches show his skill level

May be salauddin was right about him..only because he is a spinner a absolute rarity in BD, he will still be in the loop unless a better prospect comes out

Sad really..rishad can be a handy hitter at the tail, only if he was a decent leggy

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He has very good potential in white ball formats. Gives it a proper rip. FC record does not matter.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 124/3 (27 overs; target: 236).

112 runs are needed from 23 overs.

Game is on balance. Can go either way.

 

[Mainul]

FC record really matters. It shows the skill level of a bowler, capacity to take wickets and contain. Every good international leg spinner was good at FC and List A. They succeeded in tests and ODIs. Kumble,Warne, Abdul Qadir,Mustaq Ahmed, Rashid Khan now.
Rishad is still a long long long way to go . He should work very hard and has to improve significantly.

 

[Mainul]

Coming back to this game itvis Afghanistan's game to loose. Pitch is slow, low, gripping and Afghanistan has a far far superior bowling attack.

 

[Mainul]

I mean spin bowling attack

 

[Mainul]

out of mahmudullah and rishad they bowled 10 overs for 57/0..on this sluggish pitch this can make the match

I can't agree more. Rishad being a specialist leg spinner in the side and playing on this spin bowling friendly pitch conceded far too many. If he had bowled well , Mahmudullah wouldn't have to bowl.

 

[Devadwal]

Afghanistan is truly number 2 team in Asia

They are destroying minnows Bangladesh.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That is no true anymore. How many FC matches has Rashid Khan played even ?

Adil Rashid averages 35 and 40 in FC and Test cricket.

Zampa averages 46 in FC cricket .

Hasaranga averages 40 in FC..

White ball success has nothing to do with FC record.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

What a shocking collapse.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Afghanistan just need a slow and ideally turning wicket. Once they get that. All their batters need to do is to put some runs on board. When that is done Afghanistan spinners are going to win then the game 9/10 times.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 124/3 (27 overs; target: 236).

112 runs are needed from 23 overs.

Game is on balance. Can go either way.

From 124/3 to 139/9.

LOL.

 

[Devadwal]

From 119-2 to 139-9. Haha typical minnows

 

[Nikhil_cric]

From 119-2 to 139-9. Haha typical minnows

Switched on FanCode at 119/2 and the collapse started.

 

[shariqnoor]

Bangladesh has to be the worst cricketing nation on Earth. They have been playing cricket for 4 decades now and they have not improved at all. Afghanistan with a fraction of resources has overcome them quite easily in a matter of few years.

It's just mindboggling that a 1 sport nation of 170+million with a decent economy for a good amount of time (not now) cannot produce 3-4 international level cricketers at the same time. Shakib is the only world class player they have ever produced in the entirety of their cricketing history.

The only reason I can think of is that cricket administration in Bangladesh is rooted in corruption from top to bottom. Bangladeshi fans can shed better light on their domestic setup and BCB and it will be a fascinating discussion.

 

[Devadwal]

What a shocking collapse.

Not surprised at all. Bangladesh is playing cricket from more than 25 year and they haven't improved at all .

Afghanistan cricket growth rate is excellent .im sure they will win ICC trophy before Bangladesh.

 

[sweep_shot]

All over.

Afghans win by 92 runs and go up 1-0.

Ghazanfar got a 6-fer. Well bowled.

 

[Devadwal]

Switched on FanCode at 119/2 and the collapse started.

Who is Allah Ghazanfar? Never watched him but seeing the scoreboard he has insane figure.

He had played the emerging Asia cup and done well there also .

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Afghanistan 235

Bangladesh (34.3/50 ov, T:236) 143/10

Afghanistan won by 92 runs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Who is Allah Ghazanfar? Never watched him but seeing the scoreboard he has insane figure.

New mystery offspinner from Afghanistan. Somewhat similar to Mujeeb. He already played ODIs before and troubled SA a lot.

 

[Devadwal]

Some bangadeshi and Canadian posters were said that they win the Pakistan series due to new government ( New energy,no corruption bla bla) but after that first they humiliated by South Africa now against Afghanistan . How's the Josh?

 

[Devadwal]

Whenever is Afghanistan won I feel like india won. So happy for them .

Tamim, Mahmadullah and Mushfiq are/were pretty good players. They should have won a lot more with them + Shakib.

I don't think it's corruption - everywhere in the subcontinent is corrupt, they just seem to always suck for unexplainable reasons and collapse and fold under the slightest pressure time and time again.

 

[Omer2002]

Now Gents this is a team and half only team which will challenge India in asia

The shocking thing for me is that there arent really any good replacements for Mahmudullah and Mushfiq . BD are producing bowlers with potential .

But it's unbelievable how Afghans are producing better batters than BD.

Atal looks like he belongs and theres another guy called Rasooli who can probably improve upon Rahmat and Hashmatullah.

 

[Devadwal]

Now Gents this is a team and half only team which will challenge India in asia

Afghanistan young generation already won the emerging Asia cup. They have so many talented young players

I think the reason is cultural in nature.

Bangladeshi people in general are way too laidback to thrive in sports. They may win here and there. But, long term success never happens for them in any sport.

Another issue I see is players are often pampered and spoiled. A simple series may result in players getting cars, flats etc. This reduces intensity.

I think the team needs psychologists more than coaches.

 

[sweep_shot]

I expect Afghans to win the series 2-1 or even 3-0.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Earlier in the day, after being asked to field first, Bangladesh’s pacers ran through the top order of Afghanistan but Hashmatullah Shahidi, Mohammad Nabi and the lower order did very well to get them to a competitive score which in the end proved to be enough by a big margin.

For the hosts, it was the spinners who did the trick. AM Ghazanfar continued a fine start to his career with a six-fer. He was well supported by Rashid Khan and also Mohammad Nabi who got the main wicket of Najmul Hossain Shanto. Afghanistan were guilty of dropping quite a few chances but still came out on top easily.

That was a collapse of gigantic proportions! At one stage, Bangladesh were cruising. They lost a wicket early but then it was Soumya Sarkar and Najmul Hossain Shanto who steadied things. Shanto then continued the good work with Mehidy Hasan but once he fell, it was a procession. The lower order surrendered and it ended up being a big defeat for the visitors and their wait for a first ODI win in Sharjah continues, 29 years and counting.

 

[batandballbattle]

A dramatic collapse of 23/8 hands Afghanistan a big win. Ghazanfar can prove to be a handful in the CT if we again make turning pitches in Pakistan

 

[Kianig89]

Absolute mauling it is , Bangladesh overachieved with series win over Pakistan now being bought back from cloud 9 by InD SA and AFG

 

[Champ_Pal]

Afghanistan are a beast these days in Limited over cricket. Too good for low level teams like BD.

That is no true anymore. How many FC matches has Rashid Khan played even ?

Adil Rashid averages 35 and 40 in FC and Test cricket.

Zampa averages 46 in FC cricket .

Hasaranga averages 40 in FC..

White ball success has nothing to do with FC record.

Hasaranga averages a pretty 27 at FC.
35 average is very good for an English spinner in English condition. Same foes for Zampa. Zampa and other 2 is very much skilful bowler
But but in pretty helpful condition luke in Bangladesh such a record means he is not good enough
