BAN vs AFG: Probable Best Batter
Bangladesh: Bangladesh need runs from Litton Das. He scored some runs in the last game but was stuck on the crease. He will look to play more fluently this time around.
Afghanistan: Sediquallah Atal has been in great form and has also scored a fifty on his Asia Cup debut. He is setting a great platform for the rest of the batters.
BAN vs AFG: Probable Best Bowler
Bangladesh: Mehidy Hasan did well against Sri Lanka and took two wickets. He bowled slowly and used the conditions well.
Afghanistan: Rashid Khan is very hard to hit, and on this pitch, he will get more help. Hence, it will become very difficult to line him up and play big shots.
BAN VS AFG Prediction – Who Will Win?
Bangladesh lost the momentum in the last game after a poor batting performance. Then, their bowlers also couldn’t do much. Can they bounce back? It will be tough because Afghanistan have been playing good cricket. But in this game, nothing can be predicted because both sides are of a similar level.
Then, the toss can become crucial. There have been dew, and the chasing side has benefitted. So, whoever bowls first will get the benefit. But if we have to choose one team, we will back Afghanistan because of the way they have bowled here. Especially, their spinners are brilliant and bowling well in tandem.
