Preview: The sleepy town of Canberra will be shaken out of its slumber when the World Cup party reaches the Manuka Oval, which hosts the Pool A fixture between Bangladesh and Afghanistan. They may not be cream of the subcontinent but both teams are capable of putting up eye-catching performances in the hope to make a winning start to their campaign.
While Afghanistan make their debut at Canberra and would look to impress, Bangladesh’s stay as an ICC Full Member has been filled with disappointments intertwined with the odd success. Mashrafe Mortaza’s men would look to invoke their 2007 campaign where they upset India in the tournament opener, and a winning start here would go a long way in boosting their confidence.
