AFG vs BAN Match Preview

This series is currently receiving a lot of attention because it is the only men's bilateral fixture on Wednesday that involves full member countries! If the foregoing isn't enough to pique your interest, many Bangladesh fans are eager to see if their team can replicate their impressive performances from the T20I series, in which they won all three games. Achieving the same level of performance and results may be a challenge for the tourists, as Afghanistan is arguably a stronger team in the 50-over format, having won two of the last three ODIs between the sides. Afghanistan will be looking for revenge after the T20Is, but Bangladesh will be full of confidence, so this could be a great match.

AFG vs BAN Probable Winners:

Bangladesh won all three T20Is, but only in the third game did they win comfortably. We anticipate a close match, with Afghanistan going out on top this time. This ODI series ought to be more competitive than the T20Is, but it is unlikely to prevent Bangladesh from dominating its opponents this tour. Mehidy Hasan Miraz's team has the balance with both bats and balls across all phases of the game to defeat the Afghans again. Considering the team combination, Afghanistan is expected to win this match.
