Who: Afghanistan vs Bangladesh
Where: HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala, India
When: Saturday, October 7, 10:30am (05:00 GMT)
A month after Bangladesh beat Afghanistan in the Asia Cup, the two South Asian teams will face off for their opening match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the picturesque HPCA stadium in Dharamsala.
It will be Afghanistan’s third appearance at ICC Cricket World Cup since their debut in 2015 when they were dubbed the rising stars of the game. They have now built a reputation as world-beaters and boast one of the world’s biggest stars in leg-spinning all-rounder Rashid Khan.
Khan will be ably supported in the spin department by former captain Mohammad Nabi and young off-spinner Mujib Ur Rahman as the team look to make it past the group stage for the first time.
