Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 2nd T20I: Series So Far
The opening Sharjah T20I was a rollercoaster. Bangladesh chased 152 with four wickets still in hand, thanks to Parvez Hossain Emon’s 54 off 37 balls. Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan (4/18) was at his killing best, but Afghan batsmen could not make the start count, leaving their bowlers with not much to defend.
Going into the second match, Afghanistan will rely on their spinners to reverse the game, whereas Bangladesh will expect their young batting unit to maintain its good touch.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 2nd T20I: Expected Playing XI
Afghanistan XI Expected: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wicket-keeper), Ibrahim Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Azmatullah Omarzai, Wafiullah Tarakhil, Rashid Khan (captain), Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fareed Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq.
Bangladesh X Expected: Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali (c & wk), Shamim Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed.
The two teams can think of changing their middle order based on the conditions, but their bowling pairs are not expected to change due to Sharjah’s nature, which supports spin.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 2nd T20I: Match Prediction
The Sharjah conditions indicate another low-to-mid scoring contest, where spinners rule and the batsmen need to be patient. Afghanistan’s advantage will come from Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad taking full advantage of the surface, and Bangladesh seamers, particularly Mustafizur Rahman, employing slower ones and cutters at will.
If Afghanistan’s strongest order, headed by Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, can give a good beginning, they have a fair chance to square the series. But Bangladesh’s batting strength and momentum of the first victory give them a slight edge.
Prediction: Bangladesh to beat Afghanistan in another closely contested match, though Rashid Khan’s magic can easily tilt the balance in favor of Afghanistan.
