Shaheen Afridi catches Tanzid Hasan plumb to snare 100th ODI wicket

Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to bat in the 31st match of the ICC World Cup 2023 against Afghanistan. The Asian Tigers lost an early wicket as Shaheen Afridi caught Tanzid Hasan in front to capture a landmark 100th wicket in ODIs.

Teams:
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam

Pakistan (Playing XI): Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Agha Salman, Shaheen Afridi, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf

Pitch report: 59m and 69m side boundaries, it’s 74m straight down the ground. We saw a lot of turn and bounce in the last game, but that was on a different pitch. The wicket they’re playing today looks very dry with no moisture at all. It should turn a bit and bring the spinners into play. Will be a bit of a challenge for the batters, reckon Nasser Hussain and Shane Watson.
