Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025: Match 8, Bangladesh A vs Afghanistan A Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between BAN A vs AFG A?

Bangladesh A (BAN-A) will take on Afghanistan A (AFG-A) in Match No. 8 of Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha on Monday, November 17. Both teams arrive into this contest on the back of wins in their respective previous outings.

Bangladesh A cruised to victory by chasing down 168 in just 11 overs against Hong Kong in their tournament-opening clash. A whirlwind unbeaten 35-ball 100 from Habibur Rahman Sohan meant the opposition was completely blown apart.

Meanwhile, for Afghanistan A, a four-wicket haul (4/45 in 4 overs) and a quick-fire half-century from Sediqullah Atal (54 off 27) set up a three-wicket triumph. The match went right down to the wire as Afghanistan A just about got the job done.

However, the decision to bowl first will allow the teams to have a better idea of how the surface plays out. As a result, the side chasing on Monday might also have a fair chance of being on top as well.
