What Have The Two Teams Done Recently?
Afghanistan
Afghanistan, who started playing ODI cricket in 2009, are coming off a stunning performance against South Africa in an ODI series which was held in Sharjah itself. While they lost the final game of that series, they had grabbed the trophy by then by winning the first two games there.
Earlier they had also beaten Ireland 2-0 at that very venue.
Overall, Afghanistan are 81-83 on win-loss in this format.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh have had a lot going on, both on and off the field. Leaving the political ramblings aside, their most recent ODI series came in March this year and surprise, surprise, they had managed to beat Sri Lanka 2-1 in that.
Later they made the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup at the expense of Sri Lanka, but went on to lose all their games there. A 2-0 win in the Test series in Pakistan would have given them the right vibes but since then they have been beaten four times in a row in Test match cricket.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Head-to-Head Stats
- Overall Afghanistan vs Bangladesh ODI Head-to-Head: There have been 16 previous ODIs played between these two teams and Bangladesh leads 10-6.
- The last time they met was at the 2023 World Cup in Dharamsala in which Bangladesh had chased down Afghanistan’s score with much ease, with six balls and 92 balls to spare.
- That was their third ODI win over Afghanistan in a row.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 1st ODI Preview & Predictions with Latest Odds*
Bangladesh are in a state of flux because of all that’s been happening on the political circuit and will enter this series without Shakib al Hasan and Litton Das. Both players are absolutely crucial for their chances and that’s why they could be in a bit of pressure.
Not to mention that they will be without their coach Chandika Hathurasinghe, who was first suspended and then sacked following rumours of contractual breaches.
The Najmul Shanto-led side will be up against a fairly confident Afghanistan team which looks to have taken the white ball format by the scruff of its neck. They were brilliant at last year’s World Cup and were a wicket away in their game against Australia from making the semifinals.
In fact it was their loss to Bangladesh early in the tournament that had proven to be the difference between finishing sixth and in the top four. Can they avenge that defeat here?
