BAN vs AFG Match overview
Bangladesh vs. Afghanistan is the Asia Cup matchup that gets little attention. It follows closely after the weekend match between India and Pakistan, so if not already, then unquestionably.
For this one, too, there are undeniable favorites as well as underdogs. The recent T20I results for Bangladesh have significantly declined. After dropping a T20I series earlier this month in Ireland, Afghanistan played well against Sri Lanka in their opening Asia Cup game. In terms of the number of balls left, it was also their second-largest victory.
After Mohammad Nabi put Sri Lanka in to bat, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen-ul-Haq utilized the new ball to its fullest potential. In the second over alone, they were down to 5 for 3. Before Sri Lanka again fell apart, Afghanistan only allowed a brief show of resistance. The task was then finished by Afghanistan’s destructive opening duo, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Hazratullah Zazai. Between them, they hit 13 boundaries, including four sixes in Gurbaz’s 18-ball 40. Despite losing a few wickets, Afghanistan showed off its offensive prowess. They are also more comfortable with the surroundings because they have participated in many short-format matches in the UAE.
Both an attacking flair and an aggressive attitude are lacking in Bangladesh’s T20I match.
After losing both of their white-ball series in Zimbabwe earlier this month, they enter the Asia Cup in bad shape. They lost both T20I matches 2-1 after giving up strong positions.
However, Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim were absent from Bangladesh while they were in Zimbabwe; therefore, their return, along with that of Mohammad Saifuddin, could help them.
