Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in the 2nd ODI of the series on Friday. In one of the greatest come back in the history of ODI cricket, Bangladesh sealed 4 wickets victory over visiting Afghanistan side in the 1st ODI to go 1-0 up in the series. Unbeaten 174* runs partnership for the 7th wicket between Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz won the game for the hosts with 7 balls to spare. They are just one win away from sealing the series.

Afghanistan on the other hand had control over the game for the most part in the 1st ODI however partnership between Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz took the game away from them. Fazal Haq who played his 2nd ODI bowled extremely well with the new ball and it was a treat to watch him bowl. They were a lot of positives for them despite the loss and need to learn from that. It’s a must-win game for the visitors to stay alive in the series.

Top Picks for BAN vs AFG Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­ Batters

Tamim Iqbal got the desired start in the 1st ODI however he was trapped in front when he was on 8 runs. We can expect big runs from him in this match.

Najibullah Zadran showed a lot of maturity in his innings in the 1st ODI and scored fighting 67 runs from 84 balls. He is a bankable player in the middle and a must-pick for your fantasy teams.

Top Picks ­ All-Rounders

Bangladesh’s No.1 all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan knows how to pick wickets even when he is conceding runs. He picked up 2 wickets in the 1st ODI, but the former failed to impress with the bat.

Veteran all-rounder, Mohammad Nabi showed early signs of scoring big runs in the 1st ODI but he has to end his innings for just 20 runs. He is an economical bowler and a good buy for your fantasy teams.

Top Picks ­ Bowlers

Mustafizur Rahman as usual was at his best in the 1st ODI and picked up 3 wickets at an economy of 3.81. He is a clever bowler and a must-pick for your fantasy teams.

Fazal Haq swung the ball both ways and picked up 4 important wickets with the new ball in the 1st ODI. He bowls at a pretty good pace and has got control of his swing too.

Top Picks ­ Wicketkeepers

Mushfiqur Rahim is an experienced cricketer, he was short of runs in the 1st ODI and he is all set to make it up for that in the 2nd game.


BAN vs AFG Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Player Statistics (This Series) Dream11 Points
Tamim Iqbal 8 runs 22
Shakib Al Hasan 2 wickets and 10 runs 85
Mehidy Hasan Miraz 81 runs 114
Najibullah Zadran 67 runs 83
Mohammad Nabi 20 runs 34

Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal, Najibullah Zadran, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Ibrahim Zadran, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mohammad Nabi (vc), Mustafizur Rahman, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazal Haq


BAN vs AFG Risky Captaincy Choices:

Mehidy Hasan Miraz came in when his side was struggling at 45 for 6 in the 1st ODI, thereafter played some delightful strokes under pressure, and remained unbeaten on 81* runs from 120 balls. He is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.

Hashmatullah Shahidi looked good in the 1st ODI and scored 28 runs at a strike rate of 65.11. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team’s skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Considering a lot of options in the all-rounder’s slot, it’s hard to pick Gulbadin Naib in the final eleven.
