BAN vs AFG Preview:
- After missing a large part of the 2023 Asia Cup through injury, Bangladesh will be delighted to have the in-form Najmul Hossain Shanto back in their side for this tournament. The 25 year old left-hander has had an excellent 2023 so far and he is our pick for their highest run scorer against Afghanistan. Taskin Ahmed has really kicked on under the coaching of Allan Donald and the right-arm fast bowler will cause batters problems throughout this tournament. Taskin is our tip for Bangladesh’s top wicket taker on Saturday.
- Ibrahim Zadran struck 10 fours and one six in his last ODI innings against Bangladesh. The opener averages 53.58 in this format and is only 89 runs from bringing up 1000 ODI runs in his 20th innings. He is a strong choice for Afghanistan’s highest run scorer in this match. Rashid Khan does not have the same reputation in ODIs as he does in T20Is but he is still a very fine bowler in this white ball format. He took wickets in both of his last games, will quickly find the right length on this pitch and we expect him to be Afghanistan’s top wicket taker against Bangladesh.
- With a top score of 117 in ODI cricket, we recommend backing Najmul Hossain Shanto to hit over 31.5 runs in this fixture.

Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Stadium has not hosted an ODI since 2017 but we can expect a pitch with good pace. A par score will be over 320 on this surface on Saturday.
Toss Prediction:
Three of the four ODIs played at this venue have been won by the team chasing a target in the second innings. We predict that both captains will want to field first in this game.

Winning Chances:
Both of these two teams come into this game and tournament with genuine aspirations of improving on their lowly finishes in the 2019 Cricket World Cup. They are both comfortable in Indian conditions and a win in this game would act as a springboard for further success. We are predicting a close match but we think that their greater experience and batting depth with quality strike bowlers in the Bangladesh team will be crucial. We are backing Bangladesh to win this match.
BAN vs AFG Key Players:
Bangladesh
Najmul Hossain Shanto
The 25-year-old has been given the added responsibility of being vice-captain in the tournament. He has increased his scores and strike rates in this format throughout this year.
Shakib Al Hasan
The skipper is vastly experienced in international cricket but still retains the ability to win a game single-handedly with both bat and ball. He should get some turn and bounce from this surface.
Taskin Ahmed
The 28-year-old pace bowler is 10 wickets away from bringing up 100 in this format. He certainly has the ability to reach the milestone in this tournament and he will be hard to face on this pitch.
Shoriful Islam
The left-arm medium-fast bowler will be a new name for many at this Cricket World Cup. However, he has impressed at international level and has a strike rate of 27.2 in ODIs.
Afghanistan
Ibrahim Zadran
The 21 year old comes into the tournament with a strong ODI reputation and his teammates will be looking to him to deliver against the big sides. He hit 75 against Bangladesh in the 2023 Asia Cup.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz
The keeper-batter has played plenty of internationals over the last couple of years and he has racked up five centuries from only 26 innings in this format.
Rashid Khan
The right-arm spinner has plenty of variations and is also a very useful big hitting batter down the order. He will give the ball plenty of flight and will be a threat to the best batters in Bangladesh’s side.
Naveen-ul-Haq
The 24 year old right-arm medium fast bowler has a very strong white ball record and has taken 14 wickets from only seven ODIs in his career.
