Bangladesh VS Afghanistan tri nation final abandoned

This will be overall Bangladesh’s eighth final and third in T20 format. While they ended their ODI trophy draught in last May, beating West Indies by five wickets in a tri-series tournament in Ireland just ahead of the World Cup, Bangladesh is now looking to rewrite the record book of T20 as well. And this is also a tri-series tournament in which Zimbabwe was the third team.

For the first time in their history they moved to the final in any kind of T20 tournament involving three or more teams was Asia Cup in 2016, which was played by T20 format due to that year’s World T20 in India.

Bangladesh romped to the final, beating the likes of Pakistan, Sri Lanka but just couldn’t stop the Indian juggernaut in the final and lost the match by eight wickets.

India also frustrated them in Nidahas Trophy T20 final in Sri Lanka in 2018 when they beat them by four wickets in a nervy clash.

This time there is no India. Bangladesh also has gained a psychological edge by beating Afghanistan by four wickets in the last match at the group stage. This four-wicket victory ended Bangladesh’s four-match losing streak to Afghanistan.
