Preview:
Bangladesh and Afghanistan will play the second ODI of the three-match ODI series on Friday. During the first ODI, Bangladesh made an epic comeback after losing six wickets for just 45 runs. The duo of Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz added 174 runs for the seven wickets to take Bangladesh home.
Earlier, Afghanistan made 215 runs in 49.1 overs with the help of the middle-order. Najibullah Zadran made 67 runs off 84 balls and was the highest scorer. Fazal Haq was impressive with the ball and managed to pick four wickets and gave a shock to Bangladesh. A win here for Bangladesh will help them seal the series but it won’t be an easy task.

Top Picks for BAN vs AFG 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket:
Tamim Iqbal made his return to international cricket after a long gap in the last game. However, he could make only eight runs and might be looking to play big innings in this game.
Shakib Al Hasan continued in the first ODI from where he left in the Bangladesh Premier League. He picked two wickets but failed to play a significant knock with the bat. Shakib is likely to play a key role in this game.
Fazal Haq played the second ODI of his career during the first game. He picked four wickets in ten overs and gave away just 54 runs. Bangladeshi batters struggled against his pace and swing. He can prove to be a lethal addition to Afghanistan’s bowling attack along with the spin trio.
