Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Chance of Winning
Bangladesh haven’t been at their best heading into the World Cup having won twice in the last eight games. Their last win came against India in what was a dead rubber game as India had already qualified for the Asia Cup finals.
Afghanistan have had a horrendous record in 2023 winning three games in the last 11 matches. Afghanistan head into the world cup on the back of six defeats on the bounce which makes us believe they would have a difficult campaign.
As per our calculations, Bangladesh are firm favourites in the upcoming game. Looking at the form guide it would be hard to make a case for Afghanistan to take anything in the opening fixture in this tournament.
- Bangladesh’s chances of winning - 58%
- Afghanistan’s chances of winning - 42%

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Both teams have struggled to get a good opening partnership in recent games. On one hand Bangladesh's average opening stand in the last five games is 18.6 and on other hand Afghanistan averages 51.6. Still we will go with Bangladesh on this one for two key reasons. Firstly, Afghanistan’s average looks inflated due to the fact they had an opening stand of 227 runs against Pakistan. Secondly, even though Bangladesh havent been good in this area they have managed to restrict their opponents pretty well in this regard which is probably why they have managed a better opening stand in each of the last three fixtures. We believe Bangladesh would have a better opening stand than Afghanistan in the upcoming fixture as it would be a good payout if you intend to invest in this great betting tip.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Betting Odds
Bangladesh to score more than Afghanistan in powerplay
Afghanistan has been second best throughout the year when it comes to scoring in the first 10 overs. In the last five matches Afghanistan has managed to score 58, 37, 30, 48 and 21 averaging 38.8 runs but has conceded 55 runs in those matches. On the other hand, Bangladesh has managed to score 62, 54, 44, 47 and 49 in last five games averaging 51.2 runs which is way above Afghanistan's average and only once have Afghanistan managed to score more than 51.2 which makes this a very lucrative tip to bet upon. Even though Afghanistan have outscored Bangladesh in head to head games thrice in four games we still believe Bangladesh would score more than Afghanistan in Powerplay in the upcoming fixture as they have done in each of the last three games, twice against New Zealand and once against India. We believe this is a great opportunity to make some quick financial returns.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Top Team Batters
Shakib Al Hasan to be Bangladesh’s top batter
Even though Shakib Al Hasan hasn’t had the best of games against Afghanistan this year, he looks to be the man in-form heading into the WorldCup. Shakib has managed to score two half centuries in the last three games which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
Ibrahim Zadran to be Afghanistan’s top batter
Ibrahim Zadran has been one of the most consistent players for Afghanistan averaging 47.8 runs in ODI cricket in 2023. In the last five innings, Zadran has managed to bag two half centuries and a century which makes him a great pick in the upcoming game.
Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Top Team Bowlers
Taskin Ahmed to be Bangladesh’s top bowler
Taskin Ahmed has been sensational for Bangladesh leading up to the World Cup. In the last four games Taskin has managed to grab nine wickets and has been the leading wicket taker for bangladesh in those games which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
Fazalhaq Farooqi to be Afghanistan’s top bowler
Even though Afghan bowlers haven’t had a good season thus far, Fazalhaq Farooqi has been a constant threat for the Afghans grabing eight wickets in the last five games. Farooqi is the top wicket taker for Afghanistan in 2023 which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
