Shakib Al Hasan: We will bat first. It will be difficult for Afghanistan, so that is what we will look to do. We have three spinners and two seamers - so our bowling is pretty much covered. Afghanistan is a very good side in T20 format, we have prepared well for their bowlers hopefully we can show what we can do. We are all neighbouring countries, everyone wants to watch us play each other so I am happy to be part of such a competition.

Mohammad Naim, Anamul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Afif Hossain, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mosaddek Hossain, Mahmudullah, Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman

Mohammad Nabi: The way we played last game was brilliant, the morale of the team is high and we want to play the same way today. Same team today. Maybe it will be a bit low today, this pitch. We will look to keep them to a low total.
