BAN vs AFG Preview
- In T20I matches, Afghanistan has a 5-3 win-loss record against Bangladesh.
- Since the most recent T20I World Cup in this format, Bangladesh has lost three and drawn one series.
- At the most recent Asia Cup, Afghanistan and Bangladesh both lost in the Super-4 round.
Bangladesh and Afghanistan square off at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday night in the second match of Group B of the 2022 Asia Cup. Bangladesh’s first match of the competition is today, but Afghanistan won its initial match by defeating Sri Lanka on Saturday by an eight-wicket margin. At 18:00 local time, the game begins.
Recent years have seen Bangladesh struggle in this format, and they had a very disastrous 2021 IT20 World Cup. They do, however, have plenty of match-winners with the bat and the ball thanks to a completely healthy roster.
In the inaugural Asia Cup match of this year, Afghanistan defeated Sri Lanka with 59 balls remaining. Although the team will definitely be confident, this will be a far stiffer challenge.
BAN vs AFG Weather Report
The weather predictions predict that Sharjah will have a humid climate with little probability of rain on match day. Dew is anticipated to occur during the game.
BAN vs AFG Match Toss Prediction
Chasing will be the preferred choice because second-batting teams have a strong track record in this venue, and the bowlers will try to take advantage of the early moisture content in the field.
BAN vs AFG Pitch Report
Since the closing moments of the World Cup last year, this is the first IT20 to be played on this field. In Sharjah compared to Dubai, the pitch is always slower and gives more turns.
Bangladesh Team News & Probable Playing XIs
The Tigers did not represent themselves well at the previous World Cup, but they will use this opportunity to make sure that their top players are as prepared as they can be for the October 2022 World Cup. At this time, there are no injuries on the team.

Afghanistan Team News & Probable Playing XIs
There were some concerns that Afghanistan will struggle at the Asia Cup 2022 after falling to a 3-2 series loss to Ireland earlier this month. They were far superior against Sri Lanka in strength, therefore we anticipate them to stick with the same lineup for this game.
