BAN vs AFG Preview

Afghanistan continued their dominance in the three-match series against Bangladesh as they secured a comprehensive 142-run victory in the 2nd ODI. With the win, Afghanistan sealed an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, having previously won the opening match by 17 runs.

Batting first, Afghanistan got off to a blazing start thanks to an exceptional partnership between their openers. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was the standout performer, smashing his career-best score of 145, while Ibrahim Zadran also contributed with a brilliant century. Their remarkable 256-run opening stand set the foundation for Afghanistan’s mammoth total, becoming the highest partnership for the country on any wicket.

Chasing 332, Bangladesh heavily relied on Mushfiqur Rahim, who fought a lone battle with a determined knock of 69 runs. However, he lacked support from the rest of the batting lineup and Bangladesh eventually bowled out for 189.

Bangladesh will now look to salvage some pride and avoid a whitewash when they face Afghanistan in the final match of the series.
