When: September 17, 2018, 3:30 PM Local time
Where: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
The action moves to Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi where the batsmen have found it difficult to score runs. Seamers have done better than spinners in this particular venue but with Rashid and Mujeeb in Afghanistan XI that could change quickly.
Sri Lanka was thrashed by Mushfiqur Rahim’s 144 in the opening fixture. Returning Malinga had Bangladesh under the pump with 2 quick wickets up front but dropped catches and poor fielding certainly didn’t help as Rahim started to rotate strike and then just took the game away from the Lions.
Afghanistan is coming into this tournament on the back of some good show up in Ireland where they defeated Ireland comprehensively all thanks to spin twin of Mujeeb and Rashid Khan once again. With Sri Lanka losing their first game Afghanistan will be hoping to cause an upset against an Asian Cricketing Powerhouse.
