Afghan children welcome the Bangladesh national cricket team in the United Arab Emirates
The Bangladesh national cricket team, which is going to play three fifty-over matches with the Afghanistan team, arrived in the city of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates on Saturday night, the 12th of Scorpio, and was welcomed by the officials of the Afghanistan Cricket Board, the players of the Afghanistan national team, and the girls of Afghanistan. By reading a text in English and giving flower wreaths, these children welcomed the Bangladesh team and expressed that they will witness the hospitality of Afghans as always.
Both teams will hold their first match on Wednesday, the 16th of Aqrab at 4:00 pm Kabul time at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates. The second match of both teams will be held on Saturday, the 19th of Scorpio, and the last match between both teams will be held on Monday, the 21st of Scorpio.
All these three matches will be played at four o’clock in the afternoon Afghanistan time.
Both teams have already faced each other sixteen times in fifty-over cricket competitions, Bangladesh has won ten times, but Afghanistan has won only six times. If Afghanistan wins all three matches in this series of international 50-over cricket competitions, while it will achieve the championship in this series of competitions, it can improve Afghanistan’s record of victories against this team.
In the last two important games that both teams have played together in the two major events of this sport, the Bangladesh national cricket team was able to defeat Afghanistan with a difference of 89 runs in the Asia Cricket Cup one year and two months ago, but the national team Afghanistan cricket beat Bangladesh by six wickets in October last year in the 50-over World Cup held in India.
After the end of this series of 50-over cricket matches with Bangladesh, Afghanistan is going to hold several 20-over, 50-over and Test matches against Zimbabwe.
