Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Predictions

Afghanistan took a commanding win over Bangladesh in the 1st ODI. Their top order is showing greater consistency and their bowling attack is extremely dangerous in the 50-over format. It’s Afghanistan all the way in my book.

Afghanistan’s Rahmat Shah has scored 51, 56, 49, 133 & 50 in his last 5 innings.
Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz has scored 40, 30 & 50 in his last 4 innings.
Bangladesh’s Towhid Hridoy hit three sixes in his 85-ball 56 in the 1st ODI.
Bangladesh’s Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored 60 off 87 balls in the 1st ODI.

Head-to-Head

Afghanistan have won three and lost two of their last five ODIs against Bangladesh. Afghanistan have also won three of those last four matches.

Afghanistan Form

Afghanistan sealed their third win in four completed ODIs when they beat Bangladesh by five wickets in the 1st ODI.

Rashid Khan (3/38, econ 3.80) and Azmatullah Omarzai (3/40, econ 4.44) led the charge with the ball as Bangladesh were bowled out for 221 with seven balls to spare.

Afghanistan’s top order all contributed to the chase, hauling down Bangladesh’s total with 17 balls to spare. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (50) and Rahmat Shah (50) shared top score in the five-wicket win.

Afghanistan Team News

Afghanistan have a well-balanced squad and won’t want to tinker with a winning side.

Bangladesh Form

Bangladesh went down to Afghanistan by five wickets in the 1st ODI. It was their third loss in four ODIs.

Bangladesh were looking good at 154/3 thanks to a 101-run stand for the fourth wicket between Towhid Hridoy (56) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (60). They then lost six wickets for 52 runs and were bowled out for 221 off 48.5 overs.

Afghanistan timed their chase perfectly to win by five wickets with 2.5 overs to spare.

Bangladesh Team News

Bangladesh need greater consistency from their top order. They might look to bring a fresh batter to boost their chances of squaring the series.

Verdict

Afghanistan v Bangladesh 2nd ODI

I am backing Afghanistan to win. I am also backing Rahmat Shah to top score for Afghanistan.

Towhid Hridoy is a good bet to top score for Bangladesh.
