Bangladesh (BAN) will lock horns with Afghanistan (AFG) in the second T20I match of the Afghanistan tour of Bangladesh at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on July 16. Afghanistan were the winner of the recently concluded ODI series between the two teams by a margin of 2-1, but Bangladesh managed to turn the tide and win the first T20I match of the series. Will Afghanistan cover up and win this match to equalise the series?

Both the teams squared off against each other in the last match, which was played at the same venue where Bangladesh had won the toss and elected to field. Being put to bat did not work out well for Afghanistan as their top order failed, and they lost four wickets at the score of 52. That is when Mohammad Nabi, the experienced all-rounder of the team, took matters into his own hands and scored a fantastic fifty. He got some aid from Najibullah Zadran and Azmatullah Omarzai, so they managed to score 154 runs after the end of the first innings.

Bangladesh had not started too well and too differently from their opponents. Every batter in their top order got starts, but none of them were able to convert those starts into bigger totals and threw their wickets away. Towhid Hridoy and Shamim Hossain took charge in the middle overs and scored the majority of runs. After Hossain fell, the match got very interesting as Karim Janat took a hat-trick to put the match in their kitty. But a final over drama and a display of nerves of steel by Hridoy meant Bangladesh had won the match by two wickets in a very closely fought game.

Pitch Report

The track at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is more favourable to bowlers than it is to batters. Pacers, as well as spinners, are effective on this pitch, and they are going to dominate the match. Batters would need to be careful and look to get accustomed first and then play their shots freely. Chasing should be the preferred option, with the average first innings score being 92.

Player Picks

7
C

Karim Janat AFG | ALL

Although Janat could not do much with the bat, he had turned the game around in his team's favour with his bowling where he had taken a hat-trick. He could be a great option to lead your team in this match as well.

9
C

Mohammad Nabi AFG | ALL

Nabi was the only batter who stood tall in front of the Bangladeshi bowlers. He had scored 54 runs off 40 balls which included a six and six boundaries. He can be a good choice for the captaincy role as well.

9
C

Shakib Al Hasan BAN | ALL

Shakib performed with the bat as well as ball in the last game but owing to the stature he holds, he would be expected to perform better in the next game. He had scored 19 runs and had scalped two wickets in the last game.

9

Rashid Khan AFG | BOWL

Rashid was economical as always and had scalped one important wicket while giving away 24 runs in his quota of four overs. He is a genuine match-winner and you cannot form a team leaving him out of it.

7.5

Azmatullah Omarzai AFG | ALL

Omarzai scored 33 runs with the bat, including four staggering sixes. He also took one wicket while bowling. He could be an important pick for your fantasy side.

7.5

Rahmanullah Gurbaz AFG | WK

Gurbaz is an explosive batter who can score some quick runs and turn the tables in a match. He is also a wonderful wicketkeeper and so can fetch you healthy fantasy points.

6

Towhid Hridoy BAN | BAT

Hridoy was an excellent batter for Bangladesh, bringing them into the game when it felt lost. He played a fantastic knock of 47 runs off 32 balls and remained unbeaten.

8

Mehidy Hasan Miraz BAN | ALL

Miraz had bowled two overs where he gave away just 13 runs and took one important wicket. He was able to score just eight runs with the bat but would be expected to do better in this game.

5.5

Shamim Hossain BAN | BAT

Shamim played a key role in the last game where he was part of a crucial partnership with Towhid Hridoy. He scored 33 runs, including four boundaries and could be a good budget pick for the team.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8

Hazratullah Zazai

AFG | BAT

Zazai could not perform in yet another match and could score only eight runs. He should be dropped from your team.

7.5

Ibrahim Zadran

AFG | BAT

Ibrahim has not been able to perform much as well, scoring just eight runs in the last game. He should not find a place in your team.
