AFG vs BAN Match Preview:
After being whitewashed in the T20Is, a beleaguered Afghanistan will be eyeing a better performance in the ODI series. Things have not gone well for the Afghan outfit in recent weeks, and they will be desperate to turn things around. They exited the Asia Cup at the group stage before being thrashed by Bangladesh in the T20I series.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Afghanistan’s batsmen struggled to impress throughout the T20I series and will be eager to make amends in the ODIs. In all three T20Is, Afghanistan batted first and managed to cross the 150-run mark just once when they scored 151 runs in the first game.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be looking to capitalise on the momentum. The Bangla Tigers defeated Afghanistan in the Asia Cup as well before whitewashing them in the T20I series. The form is with them and they will look to make the most of it.
