Sports Desk: Bangladesh and Afghanistan face each other in the only test of the series. Afghan captain Hasmatullah Shahidi won the toss in this Test at Mirpur Sher Bengal.
The visiting captain won the toss and decided to field. That means Bangladesh will bat first. Bangladesh and Afghanistan have met only once before in a test. The Tigers lost to Afghanistan by a huge margin of 224 runs in that Test in Chittagong in September 2019.
Afghan all-rounder Rashid Khan, the hero of that test, is not present this time. On the other hand, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal are not in the Bangladesh team. Liton Das is leading the team in the absence of Shakib. Will the new-look Bangladesh under the new leadership of Liton Das be able to avenge the loss three years ago?
