What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
Afghanistan made it to the Super Eights stage on the back of a win over New Zealand but then lost to West Indies. They fell to India rather easily in their Super Eights opener but then caused the upset of the tournament by beating Australia in their next game.
Bangladesh qualified for this round with a win over Sri Lanka but have been found wanting here. They were crushed by Australia in their opener and then lost to India with some ease leaving them with a lot of things to go their way if they want to make the semifinals.
Quick AFG vs BAN Preview
Afghanistan’s win over Australia changed this group’s dynamics majorly and it leaves them with a good chance of making the semifinals.
A lot could still depend on the result of the game between India and Australia which will be played a few hours before them but they still have a lot of it in their hands.
The net run-rate situation is such that even if Australia win their final game against India, Afghanistan can still qualify with a resounding victory over Bangladesh. If Australia lose, then all that Afghanistan need is a win.
And with what Afghanistan have shown in the tournament so far, that shouldn’t be that much of a problem against a struggling Bangladesh team.
Especially at a ground where Afghanistan have themselves played the last game and understand the conditions well. There has been ample of movement for the bowlers here and that was exploited rather well by Gulbadian Naib and Naveen-ul-Haq.
Bangladesh could be tempted to bring Taskin Ahmed back as a result of that.
