Afghanistan vs Bangladesh prediction

Can Bangladesh make the successful transition to 50-over cricket following such a good showing in the 20-over format? It’ll be interesting to see over the course of this series, beginning with game one on Wednesday. The Tigers’ batting has had the better of the Afghanistan bowling attack in that T20i series and with more time to bat, you’d expect Bangladesh to put up a high volume of runs here.

It’s hard to see Afghanistan being able to match Bangladesh on the batting front. Their top order are likely to struggling putting up the big individual required to win in the longer white ball format and thus backing Bangladesh to record another victory looks a smart play in this one.
