Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh on Thursday (October 2, 2025) in the first T20 international of their three-match series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in United Arab Emirates.

Jaker Ali is leading Bangladesh in the absence of regular captain Litton Das, who has been ruled out with a side strain. While the Afghans are looking to rebound after a disappointing Asia Cup campaign where they failed to reach the Super Fours, the Bangla Tigers enter this game after narrowly missing out on a final berth in the continental tournament.

The three T20Is will be followed by a three-match ODI leg in Abu Dhabi.
