The Sheikh Zayed Stadium pitch is generally even but will take spinners' favor towards the back end of the game. Batting first and reaching a competitive score over 160 can be decisive. Powerplay overs may play a significant role for both sides with pacers likely to extract some early swing in the lights.
Bangladesh Team: Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, Litton Das(w/c), Towhid Hridoy, Mahedi Hasan, Jaker Ali, Shamim Hossain, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Saif Hassan, Nasum Ahmed, Mohammad Saifuddin, Taskin Ahmed, Nurul Hasan
Afghanistan Team: Sediqullah Atal, Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Ibrahim Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan(c), Noor Ahmad, AM Ghazanfar, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Abdullah Ahmadzai, Mohammad Ishaq, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Darwish Rasooli, Sharafuddin Ashraf
Bangladesh will be desperate for a victory to remain in the running, but Afghanistan's strong batting lineup with Gurbaz and Atal could be the big challenge. Rashid Khan's availability in the middle overs provides Afghanistan with a tactical advantage.
Prediction: Afghanistan begin as marginal favorites owing to their excellent spin bowling attack and batting form, but Bangladesh's experience of playing under pressure might just make this a tight contest.
