Asia Cup Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Dream11 Team Prediction

BAN vs AFG Match Preview

Gone are the days when teams used to underestimate Afghanistan. This Mohammed Nabi-led side is very capable to beat any team in the world, especially in the conditions of UAE. Laced with world-class spinners and good pacers, Afghanistan has one of the best attacks in the competition. Their class was on display in the first match against Sri Lanka as they bowled out Sri Lanka for a mere 105, laying the platform for an emphatic win. The batters then helped Afghanistan cruise to an eight-wicket win.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh are also a very good team in these conditions. Even though they lost to Zimbabwe in the last series, they will be hard to beat in UAE due to the conditions and strong spin attack. A win for Afghanistan will ensure them a place in Super 4s.
