Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Predictions


Afghanistan come into the Cup on the back of a 3-0 series loss to Pakistan, with their batters low on runs, and have lost their last four ODIs. Bangladesh have won two of their last five ODIs.

Head-to-Head


Afghanistan won the recent 3-match ODI series against Bangladesh 2-1.

Afghanistan Form


Afghanistan made it four losses in a row when they lost the 3rd ODI against Pakistan by 59 runs. 

Pakistan scored 268/9 off their 50 overs, Gulbadin Naib (2/36) the pick of the bowlers.

Afghanistan were bowled out for 209 in the 49th over, Mujeeb Ur Rahman top-scoring with 64 off 37 balls.

Afghanistan Team News


There are no injury reports from the Afghanistan squad.

Bangladesh Form


After beating Afghanistan by seven wickets in the 3rd ODI, they suffered a five-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in their first match in the Asia Cup.

Bangladesh were bowled out for 164 off 42.4 overs despite a brilliant 89 from Najmul Hossain Shanto.

Sri Lanka raced to the win off 39 overs for the loss of five wickets, Shakib Al Hasan (2/29) the best of the Bangladesh bowlers.

Bangladesh Team News


Bangladesh’s bowlers have performed well in recent times, but they might look to bolster their batting against Afghanistan.

Verdict

I am backing Bangladesh to win. I am also backing Najmul Hossain Shanto to top score for Bangladesh.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is a good bet to top score for Afghanistan.
