Live nowLast Updated: October 02, 2025, 22:33 ISTAfghanistan Vs Bangladesh (Afghanistan Cricket Team vs Bangladesh Cricket Team) Live Cricket Score: Hello and a very warm welcome to CNN-News18 CricketNext’s coverage of the first of the three T20Is between Afghanistan and Bangladesh live from the Sharjah Cricket Ground. Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan was asked an interesting question about his side being the ‘second-best team in Asia’. Bangladesh was the rising team for decades before being usurped by Afghanistan, a team that was nowhere on the cricketing map 15 years ago. Can Jaker Ali’s men show that they are still better, and that their narrow win over the Afghans was not an aberration for this year? It’ll all come down to consistency, and the team that achieves that will win it.
