Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Prediction 1st ODI Match Prediction, Fantasy Cricket

Bangladesh will face Afghanistan in the opening game of a three-match series, having defeated them handily in the Twenty20 International series. Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi is the planned venue for the game. Afghanistan will want to win the ODI series after losing the T20I series 0–3 to Bangladesh. This time, Hashmatullah Shahidi will return to lead the team with a more significant goal. Afghanistan has only lost one of their last five ODI matches, giving it an excellent record. 

In the T20I leg, Bangladesh dominated and prevented Afghanistan from controlling any of the matches. With 3-0 statistics, they accomplished a clinical clean sweep. The team's standout player, Nasum Ahmed, won Player of the Series after taking five wickets in three games. When the team plays Afghanistan in the ODI series, Mehidy Hasan Miraz will return to the team as captain. The last time Bangladesh played Sri Lanka in an ODI series, they lost 1-2, which was disappointing.

Sheikh Zayed Stadium Pitch Report:

The Zayed Cricket Stadium's pitch is generally well-balanced, providing both fast bowlers and hitters with good support. The pitch typically bounces on the lower side. The batters must therefore maintain concentration and put up a lot of effort to catch the good-length deliveries. Additionally, the average score in the first innings is between 299 and 310, making it a high-scoring ground. 

Weather Forecast:

There is no chance of rain interrupting the match, and the weather is predicted to stay dry and humid the entire time. It will feel a little warmer with a temperature of about 37°C and a humidity of about 46%. Bowlers may find that the wind speed helps them swing the new ball.
