Watch Afghanistan Vs. Bangladesh Cricket Live Stream: 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, Start Time, Preview

As they enter the final there matches of their 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup group stage, the Bangladesh Tigers face what, in effect, would be a mini-Asia Cup, with India and Pakistan remaining on their fixture list — in addition to Monday’s opponent, the still winless Afghanistan. But though Afghanistan comes into the Bangladesh showdown having lost all six of their matches without even the benefit of a washout to give them a single point, the upstart team remains dangerous, as India discovered on Saturday, Cricbuzz reported. After posting only 224, India hung on for a nail-biting 11-run win. Bangladesh must avoid anything like an upset against Afghanistan if the Tigers want to keep their World Cup hopes alive in the match that will live stream from Southampton.

A slow pitch at The Rose Bowl is expected to give considerable purchase to the spinners, and the Afghanistan spin attack is the core of their bowling philosophy. But Bangladesh Coach Steve Rhodes says that his team is mindful of the Afghan spinners — but not worried, as quoted by The Dhaka Tribune.

“We respect them, but we don’t fear,” Rhodes said.

“The lads grew up on spinning wickets but we will respect them because they are top international bowlers.”

Bangladesh at five points with three games left, per CricInfo, need to win at least two and preferably all three of their games to have a chance at advancement to the semifinals.
