The Bangladesh cricket team has already reached the United Arab Emirates to play the three-match ODI series where Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in the first match of the ODI series today. Recently, Bangladesh's performance has been very poor and Bangladesh has performed poorly in every format as well as in the Emerging Asia Cup where the recently concluded Emerging Asia Cup was championed by Afghanistan.  Although Afghanistan has quality bowlers and batsmen, Bangladesh does not have quality batsmen, so it will not be a matter of surprise if Bangladesh loses in the first ODI match on the soil of United Arab Emirates. 

If Afghanistan win the toss against Bangladesh, they will definitely take the fielding decision as they will want to quickly all out Bangladesh and bat in the second innings to ensure victory against Bangladesh.
