Bangladesh A will take on Afghanistan A in Match 6 of the ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 at Al Amerat Cricket Ground Ministry Turf 1 on Sunday, October 20. Both teams have momentum on their side after winning their opening matches so expect fireworks as they clash in what promises to be a high-voltage encounter.

Bangladesh A Eye Back-to-Back Wins After Strong Start

Bangladesh A started their campaign with an impressive victory over Hong Kong. Opting to bowl first, Bangladesh A restricted Hong Kong to 150/8, thanks to a fiery spell from Ripon Mondol, who claimed 4/24 in his four overs.

Rakibul Hasan and Mahfuzur Rahman Rabby also kept things tight, chipping in with a wicket each. Although Abu Hider and Rejaur Rahman Raja managed to pick up wickets, they were on the expensive side and they need improved discipline.

In pursuit of 151, Bangladesh A's top order stumbled, with Jishan Alam (11), Parvez Hossain Emon (28), and Saif Hassan (5) failing. Towhid Hridoy’s 29 anchored the innings, but it was Akbar Ali’s captain’s knock of 45 off 24 balls that stole the show.

Shamim Hossain chipped in with an unbeaten 19 to seal the deal and ensure Bangladesh A bagged their first points of the tournament. The Tigers will look to build on the winning momentum and secure another win.

Afghanistan A Will Aim for Consistency Following Impressive Opener

Afghanistan A also enjoyed a successful start, posting a challenging total of 166/7 against Sri Lanka A in their opening game. Opener Sediqullah Atal was the star of the innings, scoring a blazing 83 off 46 balls. He was ably supported by Zubaid Akbari, who scored a gritty 57 off 54 balls.

However, Afghanistan A's middle order had a torrid time as captain Darwish Rasooli (3), Karim Janat (0), Shahidullah Kamal (1), and Mohammad Ishaq (1) failed to keep the scoreboard ticking. Afghanistan A will be keen to address this collapse as they aim for a more consistent batting display.

In the bowling department, Afghanistan A’s bowlers had mixed results. Bilal Sami and Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar impressed, both taking 2 for 19, while Faridoon Dawoodzai’s three wickets came at the cost of 40 runs.

Nangeyalia Kharote and Karim Janat failed to make a mark, going wicketless and proving to be expensive. Afghanistan will need to tighten their grip to seal another win and make it two in two.

How Will the Al Amerat Cricket Ground Pitch Behave?

The pitch at Al Amerat Cricket Ground has been highly favourable for spinners, offering significant turn. Pacers have found success by using variations and making the most of the new ball, while batters have had to show patience and settle in before attempting big shots.
