BAN vs AFG Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of Asia Cup, 2022 For Match 3

BAN vs AFG: The newly appointed T20I skipper Shakib Al Hasan will be the centre of attraction when Bangladesh embarks on its Asia Cup 2022 journey against high-flying Afghanistan.

Bangladesh is coming into the marquee event on the back of a string of disastrous outings in the shortest format, including a 2-1 series thrashing against Zimbabwe. They have won just two T20 games out of 13 since the World Cup last year.

The Bangla Tigers, who ended up being runners-up in the last two editions of the Asia Cup, will be aiming to turn their fortunes under their newly appointed captain and start their tournament campaign on a winning note.

Speaking of Afghanistan, the team swatted aside Sri Lanka in the curtain-raiser by eight wickets. Their fast bowlers Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen-ul-Haq came like a brick of tons on the Sri Lankan batting lineup, bowling them out for just 105 runs.

Their batters later chased down the paltry target in just 10.1 overs Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai’s flamboyant knocks. Heading into their second game, they will be hoping to continue their winning streak against Bangladesh.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for Match 3 of Asia Cup, 2022 between Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Pitch Report

The surface at Sharjah has always been a batting-friendly one as the ball comes nicely onto the bat. The quick bowlers are likely to get better support from the pitch as well. The spinner will be seen in action in the middle overs of the game. Anything around 150-170 will be the competitive total here.
