­Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 2nd T20 Prediction

Bangladesh are 0-1 down in the series and they must now bounce back with a win in this match if they are to keep the series alive. So this being a must-win game for them, the tourists will find themselves under a lot of pressure. They were outplayed in the first game, in both batting and bowling departments, and they will need to find a way to tackle Afghanistan's spin attack. The hosts are riding high on confidence after a string of impressive performances in T20 cricket and their spin trio of Rashid, Nabi and Mujeeb will continue to test the Bangladeshi batsmen on a pitch that seems conducive to spin bowling. Although Bangladesh do have the resources to turn things around, we feel that Afghanistan will take advantage of the momentum and attain an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

Final Verdict: Back Afghanistan to beat Bangladesh at 1.85 with Betway, 1.90 with Bet365 and 2.02 with Betfair.
