When Bangladesh plays Afghanistan in the second Twenty20 International, they will be hoping to win the series. Bangladesh came out on top again after defeating Afghanistan in the Asia Cup last month, winning the series opener by four wickets. Afghanistan scored 151/9 in the allocated 20 overs after batting first. Afghanistan's batsmen are rapidly growing increasingly concerned after failing to impress once more. Afghanistan's batsmen, particularly the top order, were unable to produce with the bat even throughout the Asia Cup 2025.

At one point, they were struggling at 40/4 and continued to lose wickets often, but some helpful contributions from the lower-order batsmen helped them to a total of 150+. As Bangladesh's openers amassed 109 runs for the first wicket, Afghanistan's bowlers too found it difficult to create an impression. Bangladesh eventually crossed the finish line with more than an over left, despite captain Rashid Khan's four-fer threatening to change the tide.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

The Sharjah Cricket Stadium's pitch has historically favoured hitters, and as the game goes on, the conditions get better. Batters can clear the rope with comparatively less effort and timing because of the reduced boundary measurements. But the surface has frequently displayed indications of being a double-sided support, which would force spinners to be used in the middle overs and make scoring difficult.
