Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11

AFG Team News

Afghanistan are expected to come up with the same line-up that thrashed Bangladesh a couple of days ago. None of their players were reported to be injured at the time of writing.

AFG Key Players

Afghanistan's batting will revolve mainly around Rahmat Shah, Mohammad Shahzad and Hashmatullah Shahidi. While Rahmat starred for his side against Sri Lanka with a knock of 72, it was Hashmatullah who shone with the bat against Bangladesh. Shahzad has also been amongst the runs and it will be up to him to take his team off to brisk start. Rashid Khan smashed a game-changing 32-ball 57 against Bangladesh before returning remarkable figures of 9-3-13-2. He along with Mohammad Nabi will be the danger men with both bat and ball. Mujeeb Ur Rahman has choked the oppositions' batting line-up with his excellent control and the off-spinner is another major threat to the Bangladeshi batsmen.

AFG Recent Form

Afghanistan came into the Asia Cup on the back of a 2-1 ODI series win over Ireland in Ireland. Prior to that, they defeated the West Indies in the final of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier at Harare. Afghanistan posted comprehensive victories against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the ongoing tournament to advance into the Super Four round.

Afghanistan Predicted Playing 11

Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Ihsanullah Janat, Rahmat Shah, Asghar Afghan (c), Hashmatullah Shahidi, Samiullah Shenwari, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Aftab Alam, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Match Prediction

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11

BAN Team News

Bangladesh replaced the injured opening batsman Tamim Iqbal with Nazmul Hossain Shanto and he will probably open the batting with Liton Das once again. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mustafizur Rahman who were both rested for the game against Afghanistan will feature in the starting eleven for this match.

BAN Key Players

Mushfiqur Rahim played the best ever ODI innings by a Bangladeshi batsman in the game against Sri Lanka to rescue his team from a precarious position. Mohammad Mithun too weighed in with a handy contribution of 63 in that game and both these batsmen will be expected to deliver a similar performance on Sunday. Also, the batting class of Mahmudullah cannot be overlooked and he will be Bangladesh's biggest hope in the middle order. Shakib Al Hasan chipped in with a four-wicket haul in the reverse fixture and he has a good chance of troubling the Afghan batsmen once again. Mashrafe Mortaza and Mustafizur Rahman will be crucial with the new ball, especially when bowling in the evening as the ball tends to swing and nip around at this venue under lights.

BAN Recent Form

Bangladesh beat the West Indies 2-1 in their own backyard in a three-match ODI series before coming into this tournament. They began their Asia Cup campaign with an emphatic 137-run win over Sri Lanka in the opening encounter but crashed to a 136-run defeat at the hands of Afghanistan in their final group-stage game.

Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11

Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Liton Das (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Mithun, Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain, Mehidy Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Head to Head

­AFG vs BAN Head to Head

Afghanistan and Bangladesh have now won three matches each out of the six they have played against each other in the fifty-overs format.

Afghanistan inflicted a heavy defeat on Bangladesh when these two countries met earlier in the final group-stage game of the ongoing tournament. Afghanistan, after electing to bat first, posted a decent total of 255/7 and then wrapped up Bangladesh's innings at 119 in the 43rd over to win the match by 136 runs.

Matches Played: 6, Afghanistan Won: 3; Bangladesh Won: 3

­Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Betting Odds

Afghanistan, due to their brilliant performance against Bangladesh last time, walk into this Super Four game as the bookmakers' favorites to win with a 1.90 offer on Betfair. Bangladesh on the other hand find themselves as the underdogs for this match and they are being offered at a slightly higher price of 2.10 on Betfair.

­Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Prediction

Afghanistan will certainly take a lot of confidence from their emphatic win in their earlier encounter against Bangladesh. Their spinners Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi are exhibiting excellent form at the moment and oppositions have found it very difficult to score runs off them in these spin-friendly conditions. With that said, Bangladesh too have a couple of quality spinners in Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan who could send shockwaves across the Afghan camp. Mashrafe Mortaza and his men will look to put their previous defeat behind them and we expect them to come up with a much better performance this time around and settle the score with Afghanistan.

Final Verdict: Back Bangladesh to beat Afghanistan at 2.10 on Betfair.
