Bangladesh have jeopardized their qualification chances in the Asia Cup 2022 following a seven-wicket loss against Afghanistan. Playing at the Sharjah Cricket Ground, the batters let the team down. Bangladesh now need to win their second game against Sri Lanka, by all means, to earn a qualification to the Super Four round.

Winning the toss, Shakib Al Hasan made the unorthodox choice of batting first. Batting second is considered easy in the United Arab Emirates due to dew and the behavior of the pitch. However, the Bangladesh skipper thought otherwise as he labeled the Sharjah track as a good batting wicket.
