Bangladesh won the toss and opted to field first. Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in the 2nd and last T20 match of the series with an aim to clinch the trophy. They had won the first T20 clash, by 2 wickets, on July 14. Not to forget, Bangladesh had lost the ODI series 2-1 and winning the T20Is is important for them to save the face. Bangladesh had also won the only Test between the two sides last month.

The Shakib Al Hasan-led will be pinning hopes on the likes of Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Manto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz for good show in this match. Shakib led from the front in the first T20 as he picked 2 wickets for just 27 runs and made 19 runs. Watch out for Towhid Hridoy too who top-scored with a 32-ball 47.  Afghanistan, on the other hand, would want their top order to come good after a poor show in the first T20. Hazratullah Zazai, Gurbaz need to give good start to the side.

There was seam and bounce for the seamers. Today was a day when me and the coaching staff wanted to give the younger guys a chance. But I had to come in. Most of these guys are playing ODI cricket from this squad. They will look to take confidence into the Asia Cup and then the World Cup," said Shakib after the game.
