Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Top Team Batsmen
Afghanistan has not played any test match for a long time so it will be tough to judge. But having an eye on other formats Hashmatullah Shahidi and Ibrahim Zadran will do a good job with the bat for Afghanistan.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Skipper Litton Das will be the key batsmen for Bangladesh. Mushfiqur Rahim is in brilliant form that we have seen against Ireland. In the previous test against Ireland he smashed 126 runs in the first inning and 51 runs in the second inning. Litton Das has scored 2319 runs in 38 matches with 3 centuries and 15 fifties.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Top Team Bowler
Afghanistan will really miss the top spinner Rashid Khan. In his absence Amir Hamza will lead the bowling attack. He has grabbed 16 wickets in the 3 test matches he played. He has a best figure of 6/75. Yamin Ahmadzai will be another key bowler for Afghanistan.
Taijul islam will be most impressive for Bangladesh as he picked 9 wickets in the last test he played. Ebadot Hossain is also most reliable for Bangladesh. In his previous match he picked 5 wickets.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Bangladesh
Afghanistan returns to Test cricket in this match after a long period of time. This team's many players haven't participated in this format and won't have enough time to get used to the fast-paced nature of the game. For the team to succeed, the Afghan bowlers must perform well. Bangladesh possesses a potent batting lineup and has had success at home. They have an advantage over Afghanistan in this test match due to their bat and ball experience.
- Afghanistan to win @ 3.10
- Bangladesh to win @ 1.17
- Draw @ 4.20
