AFG vs BAN Team Previews

Afghanistan

The Afghans have the perfect blend of batters who can explode when needed and batters who can build an innings in the 50-over format. The opening combination is a great example of that. Ibrahim Zadran hit a composed 95 runs in the second ODI.

Moving down the order, the lineup is tactically flexible with plenty of experience and genuine game-changers. The middle phase will be a crucial period in the game. Afghanistan would be expected to dominate throughout overs 11 to 40.

Afghanistan’s bowling attack is built to win games in all phases. Rashid Khan remains the standout weapon with his relentless legspin. Complementing him are varied spin options in AM Ghazanfar and Nangeyalia Kharote as exciting partnership-breakers.

Azmatullah Omarzai can exploit pace, bounce, and death-over situations with his seam-bowling. This is the second game in a row that the bowling lineup has bowled out Bangladesh. They put in a superb performance to restrict Bangladesh to 109 all out in the second ODI, with no partnership going higher than 29 runs.

Afghanistan Expected Playing 11

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Ikram Alikhil, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Nangeyalia Kharote, Rashid Khan, AM Ghazanfar, Bashir Ahmad

Bangladesh

Bangladesh seems to be searching for the perfect combinations at the top of the batting order. The team has found little success until now. The team also sits with an uncertain top three that has been constantly changing. Plenty of batters have made starts, but real game-changing knocks have been scarce.

The team has been bowled out twice this series. More than half of the Bangladeshi batters in the previous ODI had to depart for single-figure scores.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz is one of the best all-rounders in Bangladesh currently. The problem is that he may have to contend with most of the batting and bowling responsibility because of a lack of support from other all-rounders. Rishad Hossain lacks the all-round impact that he once had.

The bowling has been threatening at times, but not backed up by the team’s batting efforts. Mustafizur Rahman’s form will be a concern. He is one of the few bowlers who will need to produce better outcomes in the wickets column. The left-arm pacer has only taken three wickets in his past five international matches, with both of his previous innings being wicketless.

Bangladesh Expected Playing 11

Tanzid Hasan, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Jaker Ali, Nurul Hasan (wk), Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Mustafizur Rahman

AFG vs BAN Toss Prediction

Afghanistan elected to bat first in the second ODI. In both ODIs, the captains have preferred to bat first at the toss.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch in Abu Dhabi is likely to have a slower feel to it. Batters will need to run hard and time the ball well to get the best chance of scoring runs. There is likely to be minimal lateral movement off the deck aside from the opening spell with the new ball.

The spinners should come into the game as the ball starts to grip and turn. A total exceeding 240 runs could be a winning score on this pitch.

Sunny weather is expected for this game, accompanied by high temperatures and elevated humidity. There is no rain forecast for the day.

AFG vs BAN: Who Will Win?

Afghanistan appears to have identified the correct approach against Bangladesh. Following their victory in the first and second ODIs, the Afghanistan team will be confident in their ability to secure the series with three consecutive wins. Conversely, Bangladesh must work to identify a more stable lineup.

Bet on Afghanistan to win.

Pro Tip: The two ODI matches have been progressively more difficult to score on. This trend could continue and make it very profitable to bet against the batters as a whole. This means markets like 'Total Sixes', 'Total Fours', and 'Highest Individual Total' are ones to look at. Bet the 'Under' and you have a great chance of coming out the winner.
