AFG vs BAN 2025, T20I Series: Broadcast & Live Streaming Details – When and Where to watch in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Rest of the World

Afghanistan and Bangladesh will clash in a highly anticipated three-match T20I series starting October 2, 2025, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE. This series immediately follows the 2025 Asia Cup, where both sides competed in the same group, with Bangladesh edging Afghanistan by 8 runs in a closely fought encounter. The series promises high-intensity cricket as both teams look to bounce back from mixed performances in the Asia Cup and fine-tune their preparations ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.

The T20I series is crucial for both Afghanistan and Bangladesh as they seek to build momentum and find balance in their squads. Afghanistan, led by Rashid Khan, aim to capitalize on the slow, turning conditions typical of Sharjah, which favour their potent spin attack. Bangladesh, captained by Jaker Ali in the absence of the injured Litton Das, will rely on their seasoned batting lineup and pace bowlers like Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman to counter Afghanistan’s spin threat. Both teams are motivated to shake off recent inconsistency and assert dominance in this format.

Afghanistan captain emphasized learning from the Asia Cup setbacks and focusing on building a balanced team for the upcoming World Cup. Bangladesh’s captaincy lies with Ali for this series due to Litton Das’s injury, adding a fresh dynamic to their leadership on the field.

This T20I series between Afghanistan and Bangladesh at Sharjah is set to deliver competitive cricket, testing skills in spin-friendly conditions and offering both teams a chance to solidify their T20 credentials ahead of the World Cup.
