Bangladesh bowl first in their first warm-up match against Afghanistan on Monday in Brisbane.

The Tigers will play two warm-up matches ahead of the main event. While the first match is against Afghanistan, the Tigers will take on South Africa in the second on October 19 at the same venue.

Bangladesh will test their final squad in these two matches.

Ahead of the World Cup, Bangladesh played a Tri-Series in New Zealand where they lost all four matches against the hosts and Pakistan. Prior to the Tri-Seris, Bangladesh failed to do well in the Asia Cup as well.

Due to consecutive failures in the T20 format, the supporters do not expect much from the Bangladesh team in the World Cup.

Bangladesh playing XI:

Shakib Al Hasan, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Afif Hossain, Ebadot Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Liton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Soumya Sarkar and Shoriful Islam.
