Match Prediction – Afghanistan v Bangladesh
LIVE SCORES – 1st T20I Match – Afghanistan vs Bangladesh (Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah)
Current Form Afghanistan:
Afghanistan are currently placed at the 10th position on ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 221.
When it comes to T20I cricket, Afghanistan are in an ordinary form. They failed to qualify for the Super 4’s in the recently concluded Asia Cup.
Afghanistan have several match winners in their team but Rashid Khan will have to utilise his experience in picking up the squad well against a strong Bangladeshi side.
Players to look out for:
1. Noor Ahmad – He is the premier spinner for Afghanistan, who can provide breakthroughs at important junctures of a match.
2. Ibrahim Zadran – He didn’t look in great touch in the recently concluded Asia Cup but Zadran certainly has all the experience to dominate the opposition bowlers on his day.
Current Form Bangladesh:
Bangladesh are currently placed at the 9th position on ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 222.
When it comes to T20I’s, Bangladesh are in decent form. They managed to qualify for the Super 4’s in the Asia Cup but lost to Pakistan in the decider match.
In general, Bangladesh are looking a very strong outfit even with the absence of their regular skipper Litton Das. They will start as favorites to win the T20I Series.
Players to look out for:
1. Rishad Hossain – He is a quality spinner, who doesn’t leak runs and picks up wickets based on the dot ball pressure created.
2. Saif Hassan – He performed superbly in the recently held Asia Cup. Hassan is expected to continue his merry ways with the bat in upcoming matches.
