AFG vs BAN: Probable Best Batter
Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz has capitalized on the chances and put up a significant score in the chase. He is someone who can take the bowling apart, which makes him a player to watch out for.
Bangladesh: Towhid Hridoy has raised his performance in this format. His ability to tackle spin makes him an important aspect of the Bangladeshi batting unit.
AFG vs BAN: Probable Best Bowler
Afghanistan: The opposition knows that Rashid Khan will take wickets, but despite that, they can't avoid it. That is something that makes this man a great player, and he has shown that in recent matches with consistent performance.
Bangladesh: Tanzid Sakib is the most improved pacer for Bangladesh in recent times. He bowls with good pace, has good slower ones, and doesn't allow batters to score freely.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Today’s Match Prediction: Bangladesh were dominating Afghanistan in T20Is and beat them in four consecutive games. But because the format is different, the result is different. Afghanistan are very strong in the 50-over format. They have a good spin attack, decent pacers, and a stable batting unit. The experience of Rahmat Shah and captain Shahidi adds more value to this batting lineup.
For Bangladesh, their bowling has always performed well. But it is their batting, which has been inconsistent. They scraped the good platform in the first game, which has caused pressure on them ahead of this game. But we will go with the momentum and pick Afghanistan as the potential winner of this game.
