AFG vs BAN, 1st T20I, Cricket Tips: Afghanistan and Bangladesh are set to collide with each other in the six white-ball matches, starting on October 2. These two teams will play three T20Is and three ODIs. The first T20 international between these two teams will be played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

This match kicks off at 8:30 PM IST on Thursday. Both teams had a disappointing Asia Cup 2025, and they will be looking to do well for their passionate fans. Litton Das has still not recovered. Hence, Jaker Ali will be doing the captaincy job for Bangladesh. Both teams are almost the same as those that played in the Asia Cup 2025, with minimal changes.

AFG vs BAN: Ground Pitch Report

Sharjah Cricket Stadium is a slow wicket, which offers less bounce and is a two-paced wicket. This venue is not a high-scoring one, and the average score of 155-160 can be defended. The toss will be vital because chasing is one of the difficult jobs at this venue in T20Is.

AFG vs BAN: Possible XIs

Afghanistan: Sediqullah Atal, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat, Azmatullah Omarzai, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Rashid Khan (c), Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad, Fareed Malik

Bangladesh: Jaker Ali (c & wk), Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Soumya Sarkar, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman

AFG vs BAN: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

For Afghanistan, Sediq Atal is in good form. On the other hand, Bangladesh will rely on in-form Saif Hassan to do the job with the bat.

Probable Best Bowler

Rashid Khan can be very dangerous at this venue because of the playing conditions. Mehidy Hasan for Bangladesh can be handy in the middle.

Today Match Prediction: Bangladesh have been on the back foot with the bat since Litton Das has been out. Hence, we predict Afghanistan to win this game.
