World Cup 2023: Bangladesh elect to field against Afghanistan

Dharamsala: Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field in their World Cup match against Afghanistan here on Saturday.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said the ground is suited for chasing.

“We will field first, generally it is a ground where the team chases well. Some help for the seamers first up and we would like to capitalise on that.

“I am happy that I am representing my country for the fifth time in the World Cup. We have to focus on our skills and not think too much. We have the team to do well,” said Shakib.

Bangladesh have lost their previous five ODIs, while Afghanistan lost



the last two matches.
