Bangladesh are off to a poor start with Shakib Al Hasan and co-struggling with the bat. They were tied down by spin soon and will face a bigger challenge against Afghanistan who love to strangle sides with spin.

BAN vs AFG Key Players

Mushfiqur Rahim

Mushfiqur Rahim is a player who defines longevity. While the likes of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan missed out, Rahim was a consistent member of the team. With Das out, he will have the added responsibility of wicket-keeping, and Rahim will be ready for yet another challenge in what could be the last phase of his international career.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is in really good form with the bat and with some flat tracks in Pakistan he could be in action straightaway, having a lot of fun out in the middle.

BAN vs AFG Match Tips

Although Afghanistan were whitewashed in the last series, their performances were pretty good against Pakistan which should give them confidence here.
