BAN vs AFG Dream11 Predictions - Asia Cup 2022 | 30 Aug

We’ve reached Match 3 of the 2022 Asia Cup and it’s going to be the first outing of the tournament at the Sharjah stadium. While Dubai had all recent games going towards the chasing team, the sides batting first have had more success in Sharjah, so the toss is very crucial once again. Another thing to keep in mind is that the top four wicket-takers in T20Is here are all spinners, three of them being from Afghanistan.

Afghanistan made a great start to their Asia Cup 2022 campaign with a resounding win over Sri Lanka and now there’s a tougher challenge awaiting them as they play a side that has made three of the last four finals in the Asia Cup. Bangladesh is playing their first game and while they’ve not had great results recently, we believe they’re still slight favourites for this game.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, these teams are tied 2-2.
Rashid Khan – 10 wickets in 5 previous T20Is at Sharjah.
Afghanistan – won 10 of their 13 previous games here.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh recently lost in Zimbabwe but the main positive is that they’ve got Shakib al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim rejoining the team, so the batting will surely be strengthened. Shakib has a habit of performing in big tournaments and we’re adding him to our BAN vs AFG fantasy team. The young Afif Hossain has shown a lot of grit and a range of shots in the middle order, so he’s a good pick with the bat as well.

With the ball, Mohammad Saifuddin is back and he’s expected to slot straight into the playing XI. However, the leader of the attack is going to be Mustafizur Rahman because he comes with a lot of experience in franchise leagues and has plenty of variations. Another bowler to add to your BAN vs AFG Dream11 team is left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed who is economical and picked 5 wickets in his last couple of ODIs against West Indies.

Afghanistan

Mohammad Nabi has a best score of 9 runs in his last five T20Is and he didn’t bat in the last game either, but he’s very experienced and will bounce back. With the ball, he’ll be crucial because Bangladesh have a few left-handed batsmen who will struggle against his off-spin. Fazalhaq Farooqi is the other bowling option we’d recommend as he gets a lot of swing with the new ball, and can trouble the Bangladesh openers.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is an attacking option who has been proving his abilities in franchise leagues like the Abu Dhabi T10. He has a lot of experience on these UAE pitches and the 40(18)* against Sri Lanka was an example of what he can do as well. Azmatullah Omarzai has only one wicket in his last 6 games but he manages to contribute with either bat or ball, and he’s a good captain or vice-captain selection for your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) BAN vs AFG fantasy team.
