Before beginning their Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 journey with a five-wicket win against Hong Kong, Bangladesh had failed to win any of their four previous matches. They suffered an eight-wicket loss to Pakistan after a draw in the second Test match, while the next two ODIs were abandoned due to rain.
In the last four matches of Afghanistan A’s tour of Sri Lanka, the Afghans managed to win two games and lose two. However, they made a winning start to their Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 journey as well, defeating Sri Lanka A by 11 runs in a high-scoring opening-day match.
