However, the team’s recent performance has been quite poor. In the month of August, Afghanistan faced a 3-0 defeat in the ODI series against Pakistan and after this the team was also eliminated from the group stage in the Asia Cup.
The Afghan team will now forget its past performance and enter the field with the intention of giving a strong performance in the tournament. In the major event, they have to play their first match against Bangladesh, which will be played on October 7 in Dharamshala.
