Afghanistan vs Bangladesh ODI Series
Bangladesh had every chance of saving this game in the final over, but Afghanistan outdid themselves with some impressive bowling. After starting well and seemingly in control of proceedings, their momentum suddenly disappeared as Afghan spinners started attacking Bangladesh batsmen with some powerful bowling. Only Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan managed to stay put at the end, sharing an important fifth wicket stand of 145 runs that proved vital before ultimately Bangladesh were dismissed for 297 in this ODI match.
Initial signs were positive with a good pitch, enabling Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar of Bangladesh to get off to a flying start with looser deliveries being exploited by Tanzid and Soumya Sarkar respectively. But things soon took an unfortunate turn as Bangladesh were reduced to 72/1 by middle overs, even with contributions from Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Gulbadin Naib who all contributed runs; ultimately though this wasn’t enough as their hosts ultimately succumbed to defeat.
Nahid Rana has made an impressionful debut and he is keeping Bangladesh batters at a standstill with his speedy bowling. Additionally, his reverse swing can keep them guessing.
40.3: Rana to Nabi, Out! CAUGHT BY JAKER ALI! Naib attempts to defend against the slower ball but can only edge it into the slips – this blow for Bangladesh was unexpected and they need someone in the middle to offer some form of resistance against such deliveries in future innings.
Taskin Ahmed has shown impressive variation and success with his bowling so far this match. After an uneven start in his opening over, Taskin quickly managed to take one early wicket when Gurbaz attempted to cut him but only managed an edge that was taken well by first slip. This wicket has provided Bangladesh with much-needed momentum as they struggled in scoring during their initial overs. Better shot selection will be key during these later overs if they want any chance at victory.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh T20 Series
Afghanistan are in strong position to make history at this year’s T20 World Cup by reaching their first ever semifinal. Unbeaten throughout, their win against Australia in a rain-hit encounter at Arnos Vale Cricket Ground on Monday night showcased both skill and temperament as Rashid Khan excelled with both bat and ball while Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Litton Das also contributed greatly towards an emphatic triumphant display of cricketing brilliance.
Bangladesh have struggled to get going with their bat and have relied heavily on bowlers for points, but two losses have put them close to elimination even with Thursday’s victory against South Africa. If Bangladesh want any chance at making it through to the semi-finals they must beat Afghanistan while hoping India loses against Pakistan first.
Arnos Vale Cricket Ground has proven itself as a venue that produces low-scoring thrillers, and will likely serve as a battleground between Afghanistan and Bangladesh in T20 games at this venue. Afghanistan have won six out of 11 T20s they’ve played here while Bangladesh have five; their head-to-head records between them is highly comparable.
Bangladesh are currently ranked ninth in the latest rankings and can expect an in-form Indian side led by Rohit Sharma to face. The match will be broadcast live on Star Sports Network in India with streaming available via Hotstar app and website. However, the Tigers remain a formidable team that could shock any opponent on any given day. Led by veteran Shakib Al Hasan and young star Tanzim Sakib who has already made waves this tournament. Bangladesh are in good hands under coach Nic Pothas; he has played an essential part in preparing their squad for this tournament and will look to build on momentum generated from their victory against Australia.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Test Series
Afghanistan and Bangladesh share one of the fiercest rivalries in international cricket, producing some highly entertaining contests across all formats and creating unforgettable memories from each match. Although Bangladesh have traditionally enjoyed an edge in ODIs and T20Is, Afghanistan have recently come close to turning things around with fearless batting and dynamic bowling attacks.
Bangladesh were victorious in a Test series against UAE last time around with a 2-1 win, though both matches took place under differing venues and conditions – with Dhaka playing host for its inaugural encounter while Sharjah hosted its second. Dhaka hosted its match, featuring high stakes action as both teams looked for victory; Bangladesh bowlers excelled, led by Rashid Khan who took 11 wickets while contributing with both bat and ball to help score an incredible total of 529 runs on Day One alone!
Afghanistan struggled in their chase; their batsmen could not keep pace with the required rate, falling short by 224 runs. Bangladesh nonetheless still enjoyed a win – their victory at Dhaka proved that they can compete in long form cricket as well, offering encouraging signs for future progress.
Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in two Test matches at Emirates Cricket Club starting June 14. The opening test will be played on June 14, followed by another on June 20.
Bangladesh are an impressive cricket side and will look to maintain their success against Afghanistan. Coached by Litton Das, their recent form has been impressive. Experienced players such as Mujeeb Ur Rahman will help the side maintain its winning momentum while his return has provided much-needed depth in their bowling attack.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh One Day International Series
On November 6 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh and Afghanistan will begin a three-match one-day international series with their opening ODI match scheduled to start November 7. Both teams come into this series having suffered heavy defeat in previous matches; Bangladesh having fallen prey to India both in tests and T20Is; while Afghanistan have come close to whitewashing South Africa.
The opening ODI of this series promises to be an exciting contest between two sides looking for success in all spheres of play. Home side have won the toss and chosen to bat first; visitors hope to post an impressive total on board.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Azmatullah Omarzai have been stellar performers for Afghanistan over the last few matches. Both players will play key roles in winning this ODI series.
Bangladesh batsmen have struggled when chasing in the past and will be eager to change that trend here. Achieve 245 runs will require exceptional performances by their batsmen.
40.3: Mohammad Nabi to Mehidy Hasan bowls a drifter down middle; she hits it towards square leg where Rashid Khan dives to take a catch despite suffering some finger injury during this effort; so much so, that Rashid needs a visit from his physio to treat any potential complications that arise during their stop.
At 46.4 overs, Nahid Rana bowled Mohammad Nabi an outside off fuller ball that the batsman drove towards short midwicket for one run – giving Bangladesh’s run chase some much-needed momentum.
