While the Litton Das-led side are coming after a defeat against Sri Lanka, Afghanistan registered a convincing 94-run win over Hong Kong in their opening match.
But as the tournament gets intense with the fight for the Super Four on, Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott was asked several questions, while speaking of the team’s preparation ahead of their upcoming game. When asked if Bangladesh would be under pressure in the game against Afghanistan, Jonathan Trott quipped, “Yes, I think Bangladesh will be under pressure.”
