Afghanistan WC 2023 Schedule: Afghanistan will aim for their best show in the upcoming Cricket World Cup 2023. The team led by Hashmatullah Shahidi has earned a direct qualification to the tournament as one of the top 8 teams. The Asian Lions will begin their campaign against Bangladesh in Dharamshala on October 7. With the conditions set to suit them, the Afghans will be the dark horses in the tournament.
However, the big Pakistan vs Afghanistan clash will be in Chennai. A slow, spin-friendly Chepauk surface will aid a spin-dominant Afghanistan. Out of 9 league matches, Afghanistan will play 6 of them in spin-friendly conditions. It could make Rashid Khan & Co one of the favourites to qualify for first-ever semifinals.
Rinku Singh likely for IND vs WI T20Is, Mohammed Shami back in T20 plans
The team will next take on hosts India on October 11. It will be followed by two heavyweights England and New Zealand on October 14 and 18. However, with both Arun Jaitely Stadium and MA Chidambaram Stadium likely to assist spinners, Afghans will be confident of an upset.
Their league stage is set to end with the clash against South Africa on November 10.
