HIGHLIGHTS

  • 14:41 (IST)

    Afghanistan have won the toss and will field first. Dawlat and Shenwari come in for Alam and Zazai. Meanwhile, both Saifuddin and Mosaddek return to the playing XI for Bangladesh in place of Rubel and Sabbir.

  • 13:30 (IST)

    Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the 2019 World Cup encounter between Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Coming off a stellar performance against India, Afghanistan will aim to get their first win. Meanwhile, Bangladesh are almost out of the contention for the semi-finals as they currently sit on five points after playing six games. However, if they manage to win their remaining games and a few other results go in their favour, they might just sneak into the top four. 

14:47 (IST)

Naib - We want to bowl first. Conditions look good for bowling and we played a game here, so we know the pitch. In the second innings against India, it looked alright throughout and this looks similar. We want to restrict Bangladesh to a chaseable total. We had a good chance to beat India and we're confident that we can do better today.

The toss has been delayed by 10 minutes but the covers are coming off. The match will start at 15:10 (IST) if the rain doesn't return.

Players to Watch Out For

Rashid Khan: Having been smashed for 110 runs by England, the leg-spinner came back strong against India, recording figures of 1-39. He remains a match winner and will be hard to get away on a pitch that will offer some assistance.

Shakib al Hasan: The world’s number one ranked all-rounder has taken 5 wickets in the tournament thus far and scored a whopping 425 runs. Expect him to be a danger with both bat and ball on the type of surface he is used to playing on.

14:11 (IST)

The covers are on at the moment and we might have a delayed start. However, there's no big threat as such. 

14:00 (IST)

Shakib al Hasan has led the way with the bat and is currently among the top-five run scorers of the tournament but their bowling has been wayward at times and that has come back to haunt them on occasion. And against an Afghanistan spin attack that managed to stifle India, Bangladesh's own bowlers will have to step up to make life easier for their batsmen.

13:52 (IST)

Skipper Gulbadin Naib will hope they can carry on the momentum against a Bangladesh side that have been in fine form so far in the tournament.

13:51 (IST)

After poor performances in their first four matches, Afghanistan showed what they are capable of when they took India to the limit at the same venue on Sunday. Their bowling unit had suffered against England but they delivered a commanding performance against Virat Kohli’s side, ensuring they could only score 224 in the first innings before falling short by just 11 runs.

13:42 (IST)

It's currently raining in Southampton and there is a chance for a passing shower in the afternoon as well. However, we will most probably get enough game time to get a result.
