Very slow no intent at all shown only the one boundary .....
No wickets though which is key ......
Looks like a 269 pitch to me ......
Apart from the first match its been flat wickets so far. This one might be the flattest yet. With these two sides you could predict 270 on a 300 track, a side could be 180-2 (35) and then end up 220 all out.
Karim Sadiq playing his first match since that historic win vs Bangladesh way back in Feb 2014. Why would they recall this mediocre bloke?
AFG's rise has been rapid. They were in World Cricket League Division 5 in 2009 meaning they were at best the 35th ranked side in ODIs. Now they are 10th. By comparison BD were probably around 13-15th in 1996 and only got up to 11th 7 years later.
