AFGH vs BAN Dream11 Match Prediction | Only Test | Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Match Preview

Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram, September 5th at 09:30 AM IST

Afghanistan will be playing their third Test in the cricketing history when they collide against Bangladesh in the only Test which will be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

Bangladesh are coming into this game after a disappointing effort in the series against Sri Lanka where they were clean-swept in the three-match series. Shakib-al-Hasan will be captaining the side where a handful of changes have been made.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan are all set to start their new dawn under the leadership of Rashid Khan who was named the skipper of the national side across the formats straight after their tormenting show in the World Cup.

With a new challenge upfront for a young leader in Rashid Khan, it would be interesting to see how he deals with this new challenge.
