Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Probable XIs; Head-to-Head, ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Check Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Predicted Teams – News18

Bangladesh will face Afghanistan in their opening game of the World Cup in India. They aren’t quite having the year they had hoped for, especially after their disappointing showing at the 2023 Asia Cup. They crashed out in the Super Four stage of the competition. Next, they lost their three-match ODI series against New Zealand. They were able to pick up a victory in one of the two warm-up games ahead of the World Cup. Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka in the first match before conceding a defeat to England in the second. Against the Englishmen, Bangladesh were halted to a 188-run scoreline as rain interrupted the game. During the second innings of the match, Moeen Ali scored a scintillating half-century to bag an easy win for the defending champions. Bangladesh will now be looking to redeem themselves as they hope to start their World Cup campaign on a winning note.

The HPCA Cricket Stadium in Himachal Pradesh, India will host the World Cup clash on October 7. Afghanistan also had a poor run in the Asia Cup 2023 as they couldn’t even make the Super Four stage of the competition. However, the Afghans bounced back during their second World Cup warm-up match. They beat Sri Lanka by eight runs and will now be hoping to continue their good run against Bangladesh.
