Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Match Preview
In recent years, Bangladesh has emerged as a strong contender in white-ball cricket. From 2020 to 2022, the team had an impressive win rate of 70%. However, their performance has declined in recent months.
They were knocked out in the Super Four stage of the recent Asia Cup and also lost 2-0 to New Zealand before this event. Nevertheless, the fact that the Tigers emerged victorious against India in the Asia Cup serves as a reminder that they should not be underestimated at any point.
Bangladesh has a powerful batting lineup and will rely on it to perform effectively against Afghanistan’s spin-dominated bowling attack. Najmul Hossain Shanto, who performed exceptionally well in the Asia Cup, will play a crucial role as Bangladesh’s main batsman alongside Litton Das in the opening partnership.
Afghanistan has not performed well in the World Cup. They have only won one out of the 15 matches they have played in their two appearances. In the previous edition, they came very close to winning against teams like India and Pakistan. However, their lack of experience on the big stage led to them succumbing to pressure.
The players have gained a lot of experience playing in various T20 leagues worldwide, which will give them an edge. When people think of Afghanistan, the first thing that comes to mind is the wide range of spin options available to them.
Rashid Khan, the talismanic player, will play a crucial role as the team’s key bowler in this match. Khan has consistently performed well in the IPL and is familiar with the conditions in India. Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman will also be part of the spin attack.

Pitch Conditions
The pitch at Dharamsala is not very easy for batting, with an average first-inning score of approximately 210. The fast bowlers can anticipate assistance at the beginning of the game, and there is some movement in the ball. Once the batsmen find their rhythm, they can play in their usual style.
The spinners will encounter more turns in the second half as the pitch becomes rougher. The forecast predicts clear weather with lots of sunshine and a high temperature of 26 degrees.
