Bangladesh captain Litton Das has won the toss and elected to bat first against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2025.
“We will bat first. All the boys are excited to play this game. We want to win this game. The wicket is slow, and 160 would be an ideal score over here. We played well in the last three series,” Litton Das said.
Afghanistan captain wanted to bat first as well. “We would have loved to bat first and put runs on the board. However, it doesn’t matter a lot in T20 cricket. We had a good practice session. It is a massive game for us, but we are keeping things simple. We have good bowlers, but it is important to bowl well and put batters under pressure. I am feeling good and want to give 200 percent for the team,” Rashid Khan said.
