Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Team Preview

Bangladesh

The first T20I between Bangladesh and Afghanistan was a nail-biter, demonstrating how competitive both teams are in this type of match. Bangladesh has dominated at home, but they haven’t faced a team of Afghanistan’s caliber. The hosts played England but given their weak spin attack and batters’ inability to score against spinners in these circumstances, England is a team that is sure to struggle.

Bangladesh won the first T20I, which would come as a huge relief to the hosts after losing the ODI series. However, a few concerns must be addressed, particularly in the batting, which has looked bleak against a world-class Afghan attack.  They might bring in Afif Hossain to help with the batting.

Afghanistan

However, Afghanistan has a wealth of match-winning bowlers who have displayed class during the tour. In the first T20I, Bangladesh bowled brilliantly and held Afghanistan to a respectable total of 154-7. The hosts were once again on the verge of losing after falling to 39-3 in the seventh over and 64-4 in the eleventh.

Afghanistan performed admirably on their Bangladesh visit, winning the ODI series. Their bowlers have been crucial to their success, but their batting has also been outstanding. For the second T20I, the team is anticipated to field an unchanged lineup.

The captain who wins the toss prefers to bowl first since chasing will be easier with the dew and rain present.

The rain had little impact on the first T20I, but it appears to be a major threat in the second match, with a 40% chance of rain on Sunday.

The pitch is difficult to hit because the ball stops and grabs the surface. Both teams have a strong spin assault, so the hitters will have a difficult time.
