Bangladesh vs Afghanistan, one-off Test: BAN vs AFG Head to Head, Playing XI, Preview, Where to Watch on TV, Online, and Live Streaming Details

Bangladesh and Afghanistan are all set to take each other on for a one-off Test match, scheduled to begin from June 14. The match will be played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

Bangladesh last competed in a Test match when they took on the Andrew Balbirnie-led Ireland back in April. The Shakib Al Hasan-led side was quick to finish the game, winning by seven wickets. Furthermore, Bangladesh has been in good form in white-ball cricket as well, and they would be keen on emerging victorious when they take on Afghanistan as well. 

On the other hand, Afghanistan has had a long hiatus from Test cricket. They last played a game in the longest format when they took on Zimbabwe back in March 2021 in a two-match Test series, when they emerged victorious in sensational fashion. 

Pitch and Conditions:

The surface at the Sher-e-Bangla national cricket stadium is a batter-friendly one. With little help from the bowlers, a big score and a thrilling run chase could be expected. Choosing to bowl first after winning the toss could prove to be a wise decision.
