The two Asian teams are set to knock horns in an ODI series of 3 games, scheduled to be held from 6 – 11 November 2024 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE. Najmul Hossein Shanto is set to lead the Bangladeshi squad and Hasmatullah Shaidi is appointed as the skipper for the Afghani team. Bangladesh enjoys a clear advantage over the Afghani team when it comes to the win statistics of the previous ODI matches played amongst the two opposing nations. However, considering the lethal form of the Afghani team, we expect these stats to change at the end of this series.
