Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Match Prediction - Who will win today’s 2nd ODI match between AFG vs BAN?

MATCH: Afghanistan vs Bangladesh
DATE: November 09, Saturday
TIME: 3:30 pm IST
VENUE: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
TOURNAMENT: 2nd ODI 2024


Allah Ghazanfar stunned Bangladesh in the first ODI, picking up a six-wicket haul. Hosts Afghanistan were closing in on a defeat but the youngster turned the game single-handedly, helping his team pick up a 92-run win. However, despite the win, their batting remains a concern. The top order struggled massively and that is one area that the team management needs to address ahead of the second encounter.

Captain Shahidi scored a half-century and veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi made 84 runs off 79 deliveries, which helped the team post 235 runs on the board after a massive collapse. Bangladesh, on the other hand, are going through a horrid time in international cricket. First, they lost back-to-back Test series against India and South Africa, the latter at home and now, their performance in ODIs are also under the scanner. The constant conversation regarding captaincy is also not helping

It wasn’t an easy surface to bat on at Sharjah in the first ODI, and the trend is expected to continue. Batting first will be the ideal thing to do, given the surface can slow down later on. Anything over 260 runs can be considered to be a good total.


Predicted Playing XIs 

Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Allah Ghazanfar, Nangeyalia Kharote, Fazalhaq Farooqi

Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Towhid Hridoy, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam

Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter: Hazmatullah Shahidi

Afghanistan captain Hazmatullah Shahidi is one of the most consistent performers in the team. He made 52 runs in the last match when his team was under extreme pressure and that helped the hosts regain momentum. He will be key for the team once again in the second ODI.

Probable Best Bowler: Allah Ghazanfar

The 18-year-old wreaked havoc in the last ODI. He stunned the Bangladesh batters, picking up six wickets, and will be hoping to create the same damage in the second ODI. His partnership with Rashid Khan can decide the fate of the game.
