Bangladesh vs Afghanistan: Match Preview
This is going to be the third match of the Asia Cup 2022 where Bangladesh will go head to head against Afghanistan to kick start their campaign in this Asian tournament. Bangladesh are not in a great form as they have lost every T20I series they have played in 2022. Bangla Tigers will be looking to break this loosing streak and start their Asia Cup 2022 campaign on a high. Shakib-Al-Hassan will want every member of his team to step up and deliver on the big stage. Bangladesh are looking a formidable side on paper given the balance they have maintained in their squad.
Afghanistan on the other hand are coming from a close defeat to Ireland in the five-match T20I series so they will be looking to bounce back and make a mark in this Asia Cup. They possess a strong spin-bowling attack and a nice balanced batting unit. Mohammad Nabi and his men will be looking to make the most of their abilities and pave their way towards the super four stage of the Asia Cup by sealing their second encounter. They did a splendid job in the first match of the Asia Cup 2022 by securing a thumping 8-wicket win over Sri Lanka so they should be high in confidence.
Prediction: Afghanistan to win.
