AFGH vs BAN Dream11 Team Prediction & Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Afghanistan versus Bangladesh match. We are covering AFGH vs BAN Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the three-match T20I series. The match is to be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

Afghanistan has come out strong and has defeated a major nation like Bangladesh in this series. Bangladesh has been playing in world cricket for a long time and such performance against AFGH was not expected. They have now only one T20I to keep their pride and avoid a clean sweep.

After the defeat in the first T20I, Afghanistan continued their stronghold over Bangladesh in the second T20I also. Bangladesh batted first and it was their two experienced batsmen who came to the party. Tamim and Rahim scored the crucial runs while tail-ender Abu Hider scored 21(14) to end the score at 134/8. Rashid shined once again with his 4/12.

The reply from AFGH was led by their top-three and all managed to put up substantial scores. Shahzad, Usman Ghani, and Stanikzai all contributed. The victory was later sealed by Mohammad Nabi who smacked 31*(15) to take the team home.
