Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz will be responsible for giving the team a good start with their bat and their star player Rashid Khan will be in the spotlight with his spin bowling.
In 2023, he has played 8 ODIs and has picked up 9 wickets at an economy of 4.66. Team management will have their concerns with the weak middle order as Afghanistan loses its grip on the match in the middle order.

After the Asia Cup 2023 debacle, Bangladesh cricket has gone through major controversies with the exclusion of Tamim Iqbal from the team and skipper Shakib Al Hasan making headlines with his opinion on the selection of the team. However, during their warm-up match against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh looked confident and scored a comfortable win.
Mahedi Hasan picked up 3 wickets in 9 overs while maintaining an economy of 4. Tanzid Hasan (84 off 88), Litton Das (61 off 56), and Mehidy Hasan (67 off 64) gave a good start to the team and took the team closer to the target.
Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan & Shoriful Islam will be the key players for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh & Afghanistan have a newly invented rivalry in the limited-over format & both teams have good experience playing cricket against each other. They both have faced each other in 15 ODIs out of which Bangladesh has won 9 and Afghanistan stands at 6.
We are in for an absolute thriller between the two and we predict a win for Bangladesh as they have much more experienced players who can handle the pressure during tough times.
