- Ibrahim Zadran has been the most consistent batter for Afghanistan and scored a century in the Test match vs Sri Lanka. Back him as top batter.

- The conditions will be challenging for batters and both teams have good spinners thus playing long innings won’t be easy. We don’t think there will be a hundred scored in the match,
