In the third match of Asia Cup 2022, Bangladesh will lock horns with Afghanistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, August 30.
In an ideal world, Bangladesh should have been the favourites for the upcoming match. But despite their success in the ODI format, the Bangla Tigers just haven’t been able to crack the T20 code and as a result have seen the Afghans usurp them in shortest format.
