BAN vs AFG Fantasy Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – 9th Match, Asia Cup, 2025

Match Preview

Bangladesh and Afghanistan face off in the ongoing Asia Cup on Tuesday as both teams try to qualify for the playoffs. For Bangladesh, this is a do-or-die match as this is their last group-stage fixture. Despite having an experienced batting line-up, the batsmen have struggled to get going, and that has had put pressure on the bowlers as well.

Afghanistan has improved by leaps and bounds over the last few years, especially when it comes to the T20 format. They can no longer be considered minnows, and their record against Bangladesh has been good so far. It will be an interesting contest, regardless of the match’s outcome.

Injuries & Illnesses

There are no injuries reported by either side.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

While the pitch at Abu Dhabi is better to bat on compared to that in Dubai, it is still pretty balanced. Bowlers who are consistent and disciplined with their line and length can expect wickets. Anything over 170 could get difficult to chase.

The weather will remain warm and humid with no forecast for rain.

BAN vs AFG Team Expert Advice

The matches in this tournament have been low-scoring ones, and the bowlers have largely dominated the proceedings. Our team is slightly skewed in favour of the bowlers as well, and we have selected three spinners and a couple of quicker bowlers. That said, we have selected some quality batsmen who can go on to play a big knock.
