Match Prediction
Bangladesh have the better recent record in this fixture (1–0), but Afghanistan will fancy their chances of turning it around.
This XI leans 7-4 towards AFG, which is a deliberate bet rather than a hedge. Azmatullah Omarzai takes the armband. If AFG are rolled over cheaply, most of your score goes with them. If you want to de-risk it, swap one AFG middle-order batter for the equivalent slot on the other side before the toss.
