BAN vs AFG Preview: 

• Najmul Hossain Shanto has been displaying exceptional form in 2023, making him our top choice for Bangladesh’s highest run-scorer against Afghanistan. Shakib Al Hasan, who claimed 2-29 against Sri Lanka, is a strong contender for the title of Bangladesh’s leading wicket-taker in this game.
• Ibrahim Zadran boasts an impressive average of 55.26 from 17 ODI innings, and at the age of 21, he is our favored candidate for Afghanistan’s highest run-scorer on Sunday in Lahore. Rashid Khan, with a remarkable 170 wickets in this format, is expected to shine as Afghanistan’s top wicket-taker in this match.
• Shakib Al Hasan’s reputation as a top left-arm spinner leads us to anticipate that he will secure over 1.5 wickets in this match.

Managing just 164 runs while batting first presents a significant challenge when aiming for victory in an ODI. Bangladesh is eager for a substantially better batting performance in this game. It’s anticipated that there won’t be any alterations to the lineup that faced Sri Lanka in the previous match.

AFG Team News: 

Following a disappointing Asia Cup and T20 World Cup performance last year, Afghanistan has set its sights on demonstrating progress with its talented group of players in this tournament. Rashid Khan, in particular, prioritized his fitness and opted to miss the Men’s Hundred to ensure he would be in peak condition for Asia Cup 2023.

Winning Chances: 

As both teams are in a must-win situation, anticipation is building for an enthralling ODI clash in Lahore this Sunday. Bangladesh had a lackluster performance against Sri Lanka, but we anticipate a significantly improved display in this upcoming game. Afghanistan possesses an exhilarating bowling lineup, yet there are lingering uncertainties about their batting prowess over the course of 50 overs. All in all, we foresee a closely contested match, but our prediction leans toward Bangladesh emerging victorious.
