BAN vs AFG Dream11 Top Picks

Shakib Al Hasan

Bangladesh will desperately need Shakib Al Hasan to play as he is their biggest match winner. Shakib adds a lot of value to the side and is the team’s most experienced batter. Also, his 10 overs will be absolutely critical, more so in these conditions where the spinners will get a lot of help. captain

Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Mehidy Hasan Miraz is an unsung hero for Bangladesh. He has done everything the team has asked from him. He has opened the innings and done well, has been asked to play down the order and gets quick-fire runs in final overs. He also bowls his full quota of 10 overs and ends up with good figures.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s form will decide the fate of Afghanistan’s in the World Cup. There is no doubt about the quality in Afghan bowling but their batting at times has let the team down. However, in matches where Gurbaz performs, Afghanistan post big runs. Gurbaz is a century man and converts starts into big hundreds. He also scored a century in the warm-up game against Sri Lanka.

Rashid Khan

Afghanistan’s hopes of winning the World Cup rest on Rashid Khan. The ace spinner has played a lot of cricket in India and is well used to the conditions. His stellar IPL records make him one of the top match-winners in the tournament. If Rashid has a good World Cup, Afghanistan can end up winning the tournament.

Mushfiqur Rahim

Experience counts, especially in a high pressure tournament and Bangladesh will bank upon their veteran Rahim to deliver for the side in World Cup and lead the team to glory.
