Bangladesh, however, will miss their usual skipper Litton Das, who is nursing a side strain, and Parvez Hossain Emon, who is also out of the series. Mehidy Hasan Miraz will captain the team in Das’s absence. In spite of these losses, Bangladesh’s seasoned team, featuring Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, and Najmul Hossain Shanto, will try to extend their dominance of Afghanistan in the longer version.
Afghanistan team has a good mix of experienced internationals and youth players. Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Rashid Khan, and Mohammad Nabi are the players one must watch out for. Wicketkeeper-batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz and youngster Ibrahim Zadran will be crucial in getting Afghanistan off to a dominating start. The team will look to play to the conditions in Abu Dhabi and reverse the series after their T20I loss.

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 1st ODI, Live Streaming ICC ODI Series 2025: Match Prediction
Bangladesh go into the 1st ODI as favorites, missing skipper Litton Das, based on their greater experience in the ODI format as well as their dominance over Afghanistan in recent meetings. Mustafizur Rahman and Najmul Hossain Shanto are the sort of players who might be the difference-maker, especially on Abu Dhabi surfaces that suit seamers and spinners bowling in partnership.
Afghanistan, however, cannot be underestimated. The combination of Rashid Khan’s spin, Mohammad Nabi’s all-round ability, and a confident top order can make them competitive if they execute their plans well.
Prediction: Bangladesh to win, but Afghanistan could challenge if Gurbaz and Zadran provide a strong start.
