Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing XI, Pitch Report & Updates For 2nd T20I

Preview:

Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in the 2^nd and final T20I of the series. Bangla Tigers are on the safer side and can’t lose the series from here on. With some splendid all-round performances, they sealed a comfortable 61 runs victory in the 1^st T20I to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Liton Das and Nasum Ahmed starred with the bat and ball respectively. They don’t want to settle for this and will definitely aim to win the series.

Afghanistan didn’t look convincing at all in the 1^st T20I as they failed to chase the moderate target of 155. They were clinical in the 1^st half and a poor batting display in the latter half cost them the match. They must win this match to level the series 1-1.

BAN vs AFG, 2nd T20I Pitch Report:

The spinners are like gold dust on this slow surface and the batters should possess high-end skills to score big runs. The wicket will get slower and slower as the game moves on and hence batting first is a good option. Anything more than 150 is a defendable score here.

Top Picks for BAN vs AFG Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batters

Naim Sheikh needs to utilize the opportunity to the maximum extent. He failed to impress again in the 1^st T20I with the bat. He needs to fire to cement his spot.

Hazratullah Zazai is more of a T20 specialist, he didn’t have a good outing in the 1^st T20I where he managed to score just 6 runs. He is a strong bottom-handed player and a good pick for your fantasy teams.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

You can’t ignore Shakib Al Hasan while picking your team. He is the premier all-rounder for Bangladesh across all formats. He scored only 5 runs with the bat in the 1^st T20I and made it up for that by picking 2 important wickets.

Mohammad Nabi was cruising well in the 1^st T20I and got out at the wrong time for 16 runs. He needs to set an example in this game.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Nasum Ahmed was the player of the match for his inspirational bowling performances in the 1^st T20I. He picked up 4 wickets by conceding just 10 runs in his full quota of 4 overs.

Rashid Khan is always economical and hardly goes for runs. He picked up one wicket in the 1^st T20I at an economy of 3.75.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

Credit for Liton Das for playing a gem of an innings in the 1^st T20I. He was the top scorer for Bangladesh where he scored 60 runs from 44 balls which includes 4 fours and 2 sixes.

BAN vs AFG Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Suggested Playing XI No.1 for BAN vs AFG Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Liton Das (c), Najibullah Zadran, Hazratullah Zazai (vc), Afif Hossain, Munim Shahriar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Liton Das, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran (vc), Hazratullah Zazai, Naim Sheikh, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Nasum Ahmed, Fazal Haq

BAN vs AFG Risky Captaincy Choices:

The ‘Fiz’ Mustafizur Rahman picked up a wicket in the 1^st T20I at an economy of 6.33. He varies his pace quite well which makes him one of the best bowlers in this format. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Consistent is the major issue with Rahmanullah Gurbaz. He got out for a no score in the 1^st T20I, he is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.

Player you should avoid:

Darwish Rasooli has played only one T20I and considering his lack of experience, it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
