Bangladesh are favorites to win
Bangladesh and Afghanistan go head to head in the first of two IT20s in Dhaka on Wednesday. The teams concluded a three-match ODI series on Sunday with Afghanistan winning the final game although Bangladesh won the series 2-1. Read on as we preview this match. The day-night fixture begins at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium at 15:00 local time.
Bangladesh have lost their last eight IT20s and were very poor during the 2021 T20 World Cup. However, they will fancy themselves against Afghanistan in home conditions.
Afghanistan picked up plenty of new supporters with their attacking displays during last year’s World Cup. This will be a tough game but they will not be overawed by the contest.
The game will be shown live on Gazi TV and T Sports in Bangladesh.

Although the toss winners chose to bat first in all three of the ODIs, we expect both skippers to choose to field first in this opening IT20.
Spinners typically have the most success on this surface in Dhaka. We expect a slow wicket with a par score no higher than 135-140.
The game will begin with the temperature at 31 degrees. It will drop to the mid-20s with the humidity levels rising as the match progresses.

ODI captain, Tamim Iqbal, announced in January that he would take a break from IT20s for the next six months. His absence will give opportunities for other players to stake a claim in this series. Mahmudullah will captain the side who have lost their way in this format over recent months.
Bangladesh have lost eight successive IT20s.
Mahedi Hasan, Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Yasir Ali, Mahmudullah (c), Afif Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed
Although they ended their T20 World Cup campaign with successive heavy defeats, Afghanistan were very watchable and impressed many observers with their progression as a side. There are no injuries or illness in the squad and we expect Afghanistan to put out a strong XI in this opening match.
Afghanistan have lost their last 2 IT20s.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Hazratullah Zazai, Fareed Ahmad, Mohammad Nabi (c), Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Qais Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi
Afghanistan have a strong record against Bangladesh but it was the Tigers who won the last meeting.

The home side are favourites to get off to a winning start in the IT20 series.
Many of the top batters in this game have been in fine form in the recent Bangladesh Premier League. Both Bangladesh and Afghanistan have powerful hitters on show.
Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Das and Mohammad Naim are our batting tips for Bangladesh. Das has hit 4 half-centuries in this format.
Hazratullah Zazai, Usman Ghani and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are our recommendations with the bat for Afghanistan. Zazai has a top score of 162 not-out in IT20 cricket.
For Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan and Taskin Ahmed are our bowling tips. Rahman finished as the top wicket taker during the BPL earlier this year.
For Afghanistan, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Qais Ahmad are our bowling tips. All three spinners should enjoy the conditions in Dhaka.
This series is setup to be a close contest after the teams showed there is not too much to choose between them during the ODI series. We are predicting a low-scoring, exciting opener to the IT20 series with the hosts getting off to a winning start.
