BAN vs AFG Match Preview

On Monday afternoon, England and Bangladesh will play a warm-up game in Guwahati. England’s first warm-up match against India was called off after the toss on Saturday, while Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by 7 wickets on Friday. England is one of the tournament favorites for the 2023 Cricket World Cup. We anticipate that they will be too powerful for Bangladesh. Bangladesh has made significant strides in recent years, particularly in the bowling department. On Monday, they should be able to keep England at bay.

Topmost Picks for BAN vs AFG Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Bangladesh 

• Mehidy Hasan Miraz – the 25 year old top order batter scored 112 not out against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup and he is an exciting player to watch once he is in his stride.
• Mahedi Hasan – the off-spinner is also a handy batter but is was his bowling which stood out when he dismissed Sadeera Samarawickrama, Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka on Friday.

Top Picks – 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.
• 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.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for BAN vs AFG Dream11 Team:

BAN vs AFG Probable Winners:

Both of these teams enter this game and tournament with genuine hopes of improving on their disappointing finishes in the 2019 Cricket World Cup. They are both at ease in Indian conditions, and a victory in this game would serve as a springboard for future success. We expect a close match, but we believe that Bangladesh’s greater experience and batting depth, combined with quality strike bowlers, will be crucial. We believe Bangladesh will win this match. Considering the team combination, Bangladesh is expected to win this match.
