Bangladesh team has come out to bat against Afghanistan today. They have lost two wickets at the moment, although Bangladesh team has been able to bat patiently in today's match. Although Bangladesh team's batting performance was good today, their run rate could not increase much due to which the team's runs are not much at the moment. Team captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto has been able to score a half-century, and he has scored 59 runs in 96 balls. He has batted patiently today, and is batting well to increase the runs for the team. However, Afghanistan team's bowling line has done well, although we did not get many wickets, but if Bangladesh team cannot score 200+ runs, then they will not be able to compete with Afghanistan. So in today's match, they will have to score 200+ runs, and they will have to return to parity in the ODI freeze result, at the moment Bangladesh's run is 148/2 wickets 32 overs.
Bangladesh have made 252 runs and when you see that it is an ODI, this is not a high target and with the sort of player Afghanistan have at the moment, it should not be a difficult chase. Although Rahmanullah Gurbaz was out early today making only 2 runs but still i think Afganistan should chase this small total.
I am betting on Afghanistan to win and got 1.75 odds for this. With Bangladesh, one can get above 2 odds but it can be risky to bet on Bangladesh.
The required run rate now is little over 5 and it should not be a big deal for Afghanistan provided they do not lose some quick wickets.
