Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI
Afghanistan and Bangladesh will square off in their ongoing series in Sharjah on November 9 for their 2nd ODI of their series. After winning their opening ODI by a convincing margin, Afghanistan will look to complete victory and seal it while Bangladesh hope to avenge their crushing loss in game one and level the series.
Afghanistan performed admirably in their inaugural One Day International (ODI). Even after losing four wickets early on, Hashmatullah Shahidi made 52 runs as captain while Mohammad Nabi chipped in with an impressive 84 run performance to help reach a first innings total of 235 runs and reach victory.
Afghanistan have shown their bowlers to be formidable against Bangladesh so far, keeping their score close to 200 runs in each match. Unfortunately, their batting remains an area of concern so in this second match Afghanistan need to improve considerably on this scorecard.
Bangladesh on the other hand have struggled with their batting efforts in this match. Their opening innings was excellent but collapsed drastically by the late innings. If they want to win this match and ultimately the series, Bangladesh must improve their batting.
Bangladesh have had an exciting game so far and must remain vigilant to avoid suffering a crushing defeat in the final overs. By playing smart cricket during these final innings, they may just manage to pull out an unlikely win!
Taskin Ahmed of Bangladesh took their opening wicket by bowling an outside off stump delivery which Gurbaz attempted to cut, only for it to land straight to first slip and be caught off his pad.
Afghanistan boasts an effective spinner attack, and should be able to hold Bangladesh at bay in the final overs. Bangladesh batting has not looked comfortable on this pitch and scoring over 200 in their final innings will be difficult as time progresses; furthermore, as this pitch slows further, so will their batters make progress against it.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI
Bangladesh and Afghanistan will go head-to-head for a crucial victory in the third ODI of their series this afternoon, hoping to capture an edge-of-your-seat win that will decide the series outcome. Both teams possess immense talent that promises an engaging game. Both will strive for victory as both test their respective strengths and weaknesses to secure victory for themselves in this series-deciding matchup.
Sharjah Cricket Stadium provides an ideal surface for both batters and bowlers, allowing the ball to come off bat cleanly, creating plenty of opportunities to score runs. Spinners like Nahid Rana and Rashid Khan may play an instrumental role here as well.
Afghanistan have struggled with their bat in both games thus far, failing to click with their top order and must increase efforts if they want to avoid a series whitewash. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Azmatullah Omarzai and Gulbadin Naib must stand up if Afghanistan are to avoid another whitewash in this matchup.
Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan rallied together after an initial collapse to form an impressive fifth-wicket stand of 145 to propel Bangladesh to an imposing total. Azmatullah Omarzai proved most successful of the Afghan bowlers with four wickets taken while Mohammad Nabi and Mohammed Shahzad also claimed two wickets each.
Bangladesh had an excellent start to their innings thanks to Nahid Rana and Fizz’s quick starts, however they struggled to maintain momentum as Afghan bowlers kept stopping them with dropped catches and missed stumpings by Gurbaz that left them disappointed with not capitalising on their strong start. Still, back-up batsmen Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar helped Bangladesh reach a respectable total; and will hopefully build upon it in their final game of this series.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 4th ODI
Bangladesh will look to bounce back after suffering their first loss in Sharjah; while Afghanistan have shown they can win two matches comfortably so far and look ready to wrap up a series victory themselves.
Sharjah should provide an ideal playing surface for Bangladesh batsmen to capitalize on and score runs at ease in the fourth ODI, making Sharjah an excellent venue to do just that. Bangladesh hopes their batsmen can make use of it!
Both teams will strive for an even game, giving both pacers and spinners equal chances at success on this ground. If one side wins the toss they may opt to bat first as this pitch offers ample batting opportunities.
Afghanistan’s top-order underperformed in the 3rd ODI against Pakistan and they had to chase a massive 238 total to win it; they eventually managed to do this courtesy of Pakistan’s bowlers including Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan who took crucial wickets for Afghanistan’s success.
Bangladesh’s batsmen failed to rise up when it mattered most, seeing their top order collapse after building up such an early advantage. For their next match against England they will likely make some changes and may bring in Hasan Mahmud or Anamul Haque as newcomers.
BAN vs AFG Live: Rahmanullah Gurbaz scores the first boundary off the third over, hitting a straight six over square leg for his first boundary of the game in the third over of play – making an early impactful statement about himself and accelerating towards 100 runs from 118 balls before eventually being dismissed in the 40th over with just under six overs remaining to go for it all!
Azmatullah Omarzai took charge in Gurbaz’s absence, and produced a quickfire unbeaten 71 not out to lead Afghanistan to their second win of this series. His innings was punctuated with seven fours and six sixes while his partnership with Mohammad Nabi for another 62 deliveries was essential in their fightback – both batsmen appeared confident right from ball one.
