While facing Bangladesh in their next clash in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Afghanistan will aim to achieve what they have failed to get in the tournament so far - the first win in a World Cup match. Gulbadin Naib and Co. came close to registering their first victory in their previous match, against title favourites Team India. However, they missed it by a short margin (lost by 11 runs). And now as they take on Bangladesh on June 24 in Southampton, Afghanistan skipper has issued a warning, the most hilarious one cricket fans have come across in ages. Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Cricket Score 31st ODI Match in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

Afghanistan will leave no stones unturned to ensure maiden victory in World Cup 2019 and this was very well expressed by their skipper Gulbadin Naib, who challenged Bangladesh in a funny way during a press conference. Using a famous dialogue of a veteran Bollywood film, Naib said, "Hum to doobay hain sanam, tujhe bhi lekay doobaingay," which translates to ‘we are already drowned darling, but we'll take you with us”.

Too Funny, Isn't It?

With the phrase, the Afghan all-rounder clarified that although Afghanistan cannot qualify for semis after six straight losses, they will also make sure their opponents, Bangladesh fails to make it to the next stage. While Afghanistan has already lost six matches in a row and is out of the race to qualify for semi-finals, Bangladesh still has a chance. The latter has 5 points from 6 matches and can still make it to the semis but face strong competition from Sri Lanka and England, both of whom are placed at fifth and four places in points table respectively. Bangladesh vs Afghanistan ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Weather Report: Check Out the Rain Forecast and Pitch Report of Hampshire Bowl in Southampton.

Talking about Afghanistan, they bounced back against India in their last match after a humiliating 150-run defeat at the hands of England. The Asian team restricted India to meagre 224/8 in 50 overs after Indian skipper Virat Kohli decided to bat first post winning the toss. The Afghan team also went too close to the victory after needing just 16 runs off the last over, but a hat-trick by Mohammad Shami in the final overdrove the victory away from their hands.
