Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Team Preview
Bangladesh
Bangladesh faced yet another beating from Afghanistan as the team lost the first match by 142 runs after losing the previous ODI by 17 runs. Afghanistan has played outstandingly throughout the series, and their performance in the second ODI sends a strong message to the opposing team not to underestimate them in the ODI World Cup, which will be held in similar conditions.
Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal reversed his retirement announcement and returned to the field just one day later. Tamim, on the other hand, will not appear in the ongoing series. Litton Das was appointed captain.
Afghanistan
Regarding the performance of the visitors in the second ODI, Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s outstanding 145 and Ibrahim Zadran’s 100 helped Afghanistan score a respectable 331-9 in 50 overs before Fazalhaq Farooqui, Rashid Khan, and Mujeeb ur Rahman worked together to dismiss Bangladesh for just 189. Bangladesh has lost the ODI series as a result of the double losses.
Afghanistan has won the series, but they want to sweep Bangladesh before the ODI World Cup. They will almost certainly face the same team.
