Topmost Picks for BAN vs AFG Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Bangladesh

• Najmul Hossain Shanto- the 25 year old hit 89 runs against Sri Lanka and has now made five scores of 50+ in this format in 2023.
• Taskin Ahmed- the 28 year old fast bowler has seen his returns improve a huge amount across all formats with his ODI average down from 30.37 in his career to 19.35 over the last 12 months.

Top Picks – Afghanistan

• Ibrahim Zadran- the young top order batter made an 11-ball duck in his last ODI but has produced remarkably consistent numbers in this format over recent years.
• Rashid Khan- the 24 year old has developed his batting over the past 18 months. With the ball, Bangladesh’s batters will be wary of facing him and may well play defensively against him.

BAN vs AFG Probable Winners:

With both teams needing to win, we could be in for a classic ODI on Sunday in Lahore. Bangladesh struggled against Sri Lanka, but we expect a much better performance in this game. Afghanistan is a very exciting team with the ball, but their batting ability over 50 overs remains in doubt. Overall, we anticipate a close contest, but we believe Bangladesh will prevail. Considering the team combination, Bangladesh is expected to win this match.
