For Afghanistan, Wednesday's match has been a long time in the making.

That's because it will be there first-ever World Cup appearance. Not many are predicting them to move far in this tournament, but that just means Afghanistan will be playing with house money. When you know you have nothing to lose, you play like it.

That puts the pressure squarely on Bangladesh. The Tigers cannot afford to let this opener slip. Not with upcoming matches against Pool A opponents like Sri Lanka, England, New Zealand, and Australia still to come.
