AFGH vs BAN Dream 11 Team: Injury updates, team changes and other tips
After sending Sri Lanka home, Afghanistan and Bangladesh lock horns against each other in a dead rubber. Both the sides would want to grab the opportunity of ‘inconsequential tie’ for trying out their bench strength ahead of the super-four stage.
The two sides had met in the T20 format earlier this year where Afghanistan clean swept Bangladesh (3-0). However, the change in format would even out the stakes.
Quick Tips for AFGH vs BAN Dream 11 Team
Big match players
Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi have been the stars for Afghan side for the last few years. Going by their last outing, they might make an impact again here.
Bangladesh’s Shakib-Al-Hasan was not at his best in the first game, but a world-class player like him can bounce back.
Other safe bets
Rahmat Shah, Mohammad Mithun, Liton Das and Ihsanullah Janat are the among the batsmen who can come good with the bat.
MAshrafe Mortaza, Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman and Rubel Hossain are among the bowlers who will be involved in the game.
Players to avoid
Tamim Iqbal has been ruled out of the tournament after wrist injury during the first game. There is a chance of Nazmul Hossain slotting in for Tamim.
Mushfiqur Rahim is another who could be rested, with Mominul Haque or Ariful Haque getting in for him. They might also rest more players since their Super-Four fixture is the very next day.
There is a chance of Afghanistan resting their fast bowlers. You are better off Gulbadin Naib and Aftab Alam.
