The hosts ended a run of defeats in this format with a 7 wicket win over Ireland at the beginning of April in Mirpur. This will be only Bangladesh’s second Test Match in 2023 and their second ever Test Match against Afghanistan after their first clash in September 2019.
There are plenty of in-form Bangladesh batters and we expect to see them posting a strong score in this match. Najmul Hossain Shanto got a golden duck against Ireland but has been impressive in 2023. Mushfiqur Rahim hit a century and a fifty in the last Test.
31 year old left-arm spinner Taijul Islam had a brilliant game against Ireland after picking up 9 wickets in that Test Match. Pace bowler Ebadot Hossain and the experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will also be large threats with the ball.
The win over Ireland ended a nine-match streak without a victory in Test cricket for Bangladesh. However, they were much too strong for Ireland in the last game.
Tamim Iqbal, Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Shoriful Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain
This will be Afghanistan’s first contest in this format since March 2021 when they drew a two-match series 1-1 with Zimbabwe. Star bowler, leg-spinner Rashid Khan, has been rested for this Test although this will give opportunities to other bowlers.
21 year old right-handed batter Ibrahim Zadran will be looking to continue his impressive recent international form in this match. He made scores of 98 and 54 in the opening two ODIs against Sri Lanka earlier this month and averages 44.50 in Test cricket.
Without Rashid Khan to call on, and the white-ball spinning pair of Noor Ahmad and Mujeeb Ur Rehman also not selected, we expect 24 year old left-arm wrist spinner Zahir Khan to be a key player for Afghanistan in this Test. 19 year old leg-spinner Izharulhaq Naveed could make his Test debut in this game.
Afghanistan have won three of their six Test Matches but have been prioritising other formats over recent years.
Ibrahim Zadran, Abdul Malik, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (capt), Bahir Shah, Karim Janat, Afsar Zazai (wk), Amir Hamza, Yamin Ahmadzai, Izharulhaq Naweed, Zahir Khan
Neither team has a good recent Test record but Bangladesh are particularly strong in home conditions. Furthermore, Afghanistan are always a worse team when they do not have Rashid Khan in their side. Our prediction is for Bangladesh to win this match.
