Probable Playing XI:
Bangladesh:
Bangladesh won their last game against Zimbabwe, but it was a hard-fought win where the entire top-order failed to score runs however, Bangladesh will be hoping to see some runs flowing from the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim while the middle-order will be in the hands of Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain, and Afif Hossain. None of the bowlers crossed one wicket mark but we can expect Mustafizur Rahman and Mohammad Saifuddin providing early breakthroughs.
Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Sabbir Rahman, Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain, Afif Hossain, Mohammad Saifuddin, Taijul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
Afghanistan:
Afghanistan showed a total all-round performance against Zimbabwe yesterday where every player contributed moreover, with the inclusion of Najibullah Zadran the side looks much stronger furthermore, their bowling attack are well equipped with the likes of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi should lead the spin attack while after impressive performance pacer Farid Malik should retain his place along with Karim Janat.
Predicted XI: Hazratullah Zazai, Najibullah Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Najeeb Tarakai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Asghar Afghan, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan (C), Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Karim Janat, Farid Malik
Top Picks:
Wicket-keeper: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (8 credits)
The 17-year-old had an excellent debut for his nation and showed what he is capable of in the game against Zimbabwe, scoring 43 in quick time. While he will be facing a much stronger Bangladesh side but, we expect the opener to provide a good platform by scoring some quick runs once again.
Batsman: Afif Hossain (8 credits)
Hossain was the man behind Bangladesh's first victory where he fired 52 off just 26 balls moreover, he has produced some of the cleanest hitting from a Bangladesh batsman in the last match where others failed to do and could carry on from where he left off.
All-rounder: Mohammad Nabi (10 credits)
Nabi had an excellent day against Zimbabwe where he smashed 38 off 18 balls in the death overs. Although he went wicket-less in the previous night playing on the same ground, Nabi is poised to have another good day, at the very least, with both bat and ball in hand.
Bowler: Rashid Khan (9.5 credits)
The right-arm leg-break bowler continues from where he left in the one-off Test match against Bangladesh, picking two wickets against Zimbabwe yesterday in the opener further, with his potential to put pressure on Bangladesh batsmen, you can expect him picking few more wickets.
Captain options: Mohammad Nabi, Shakib Al Hasan
