Right now, with current performance Afghanistan is surely one of the best team in this region and I have feeling you are underestimating them
No, I did not underestimate them. But wait, did you say they are one of the best teams in this region? How many teams in this region play cricket? Look at their ranking. How they can be one of the best teams in this region while teams like India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka from this region. It's true that they developed their game and improved a lot. But I don't consider them one of the best teams in Asia. They still have a lot of work to do to be one of the best teams in this region. From the sense you said they are one of the best teams, I could also say that Bangladesh is one of the best in this region. How about that?

Very worst performance have come from Bangladesh. The team was in good position with better confidence winning its recent series against Ireland, gave tough fight in the series against England, won against india. Likewise the team was at its best. All of the sudden Afghanistan have made the Bangladesh team really low with the batting and bowling. Both the openers of Afghanistan scoring century shows how good this team have practised. A big learning for Bangladesh before the World Cup and the Asia Cup.
Bangladesh can not expect such a bad performance from them. Because the past matches were hard fought and won the reputation but Afghanistan pushed Bangladesh to utter destruction. Neither of them could perform well in terms of bowling and batting, which is why Bangladesh's result stands today. Although Bangladesh started this ODI section with such poor performance I think Bangladesh will lose in the third match. Here Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zardan of Afghanistan have taken the Afghanistan team to the top of the victory with a fiery performance.

Lol Bangladesh completely rolled over against the Afghans? Losing is okay but that badly, well it should be worrisome.
Latter out batted and outbowled (Both pace and spin) the former convincingly. I Hope Bongs bounce back in the next match otherwise it'll hurt their WC preparation.
In first two ODI's of this series they have nothing positive batting, bowling and fielding all going badly down and sudden retirement of Tamim Iqbal is also having bad impact on their performance now he is back, but things like these bring negativity on teams and players with Afghanistan is surely improving and now having good experience in ODI and twenty/20 which is helping them for having better results.Latter out batted and outbowled (Both pace and spin) the former convincingly. I Hope Bongs bounce back in the next match otherwise it'll hurt their WC preparation.
Now we have last ODI on 11th July hopefully things will be better for them but overall they need to bring some changes in their system and team as well because with this performance we can't expect anything good from them in big events like Asia Cup and World Cup most chances they could be fought for the 9th or 10th spots if they keep going like this.

Everyone is blaming the coach of Bangladesh for such pathetic performance against Afghanistan. No one has imagined that Bangladesh will lose the match and series in this way on their home ground. Afghanistan players have batted freely with confidence, where some top order players of Bangladesh played with fear. It is not only going to hurt their world cup preparation, but also the Asia cup preparation. Latter out batted and outbowled (Both pace and spin) the former convincingly. I Hope Bongs bounce back in the next match otherwise it'll hurt their WC preparation.

Bangladesh team made a good comeback but if it was earlier then the match would have been easier for them. Afganistan first wicket fell at 256 runs and then one by one come and go. The remaining 8 wickets fell in just 78 runs. After the wickets of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran fell, neither got expected score. If the players of Bangladesh team could have taken the first wicket earlier then the direction of this match could have changed. Anyway, Tamim is not in the Bangladesh team, so there is some weakness in batting. However, there is still no certainty about the victory of this match who is going to win today's match.Bangladesh bowled brilliantly in the last 12/13 overs. And managed to take 9 wickets from Afghanistan. This is why Afghanistan ended their innings on 331 runs. The way Afghanistan was batting, there was a possibility of giving a target of more than 380 in this match. However, even though the target was 332 runs, the Bangladeshi batsmen batted very badly as usual. In the first match, Bangladesh scored only 169 runs, and in today's match, they scored 189 runs. Bangladesh was defeated by a huge margin of 142 runs. Bangladesh performed well in the last few ODI series. Bangladesh's sudden deterioration against Afghanistan was not expected.
In the second match of the ODI series, Bangladesh shamefully lost to Afghanistan by a huge margin of 142 runs. Bangladesh team could not take any wicket of Afghanistan during 256 runs, it shows how weak Bangladesh bowling was in today's match. Today's game in Afghanistan looked like Bangladesh was playing against the world champions. This Tiger Rai beat England at home. The Tigers also played well against Team India who are one of the strongest teams in the subcontinent. Today these Tigers lost very humiliatingly against Afghanistan.
Afghanistan are taking revenge of there test loss in ODI series. They won first ODI and surely they will win second ODI also. Afghanistan had a 256 runs partnership between openers but rest of batting wasn't able to capitalise on that. Afghanistan gave a target of 331, they must have given a target of over 350 runs. This is something Afghanistan need to improve. From Bangladesh point of views its not a good sign as ODI world cup is just ahead.
But, I have completely different opinion about Afghanistan, they are not playing for the revenge because they can't blame Bangladesh for this defeat in test with their mostly senior players were not interested to play test match, and they withdraw from this which have negative impact on their performance, and they lost this match badly mostly Afghani players are love to play in white-ball format, so they are giving their best in this format as we have in this series against Bangladesh.As we have early 35 overs in today match I was expecting 390 to 400 from them but after having big partnership they have collapse and lost quick wickets which hurt their cause for having this target but still they have done good job and won this match by big margin.
Bangladesh lost badly against Afghanistan in the second match of the ODI series. This match has proved that the Bangladesh cricket team has lost its ability to play. According to me it is better to withdraw Bangladesh from the arena of cricket. Because such games only annoy people. Bangladesh team player Mostafizur Rahman performed somewhat well, but other players played a shameful game. In today's match, Bangladesh failed to handle the shock of Afghanistan team's Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran.
Late efforts by Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehedi Hasan Miraz could not save the team from a humiliating defeat. In the end Bangladesh were bowled out for just 189 runs against Afghanistan and Afghanistan won the series by 2-0 with an easy 142 run victory over Bangladesh.
Afghanistan have one more match left against Bangladesh in which Afghanistan will definitely be planning to whitewash Bangladesh. Afghanistan have defeated Bangladesh by a big margin in two consecutive matches so their dream of whitewashing in the last match is unlikely to come true.
With the sudden announcement of Tamim Iqbal's retirement and his return to the team and his departure from the series, the team's plans may have gone awry. But right now, Bangladesh cricket is a professional team, so they have to face their opponents in a professional manner.

Afghanistan knows how to take their revenge well. Afghanistan bowlers are playing with the Bangladeshi batsmen in the 2nd match as in the 1st match. In my opinion, there was a mistake in Bangladesh's team selection. As Mahmudullah should have played in place of Afif but he is not in the team now he is definitely needed in the team. Taskin is seated today. Taskin should have been played instead of Ebadat And we all know about Tamim's issue. Mushfiq and Miraz are now at the crease. They are slowly increasing their run rate. Now to see how long they can handle Rashid, Mujeeb, Nabi. Match 80% Afghanistan. left in favor and the remaining 20% is in favor of Bangladesh. I think Afghanistan will have the last laugh.
The performance of Afghanistan players in this match is really commendable. Especially the two openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran got off to a great start. And in the end, Afghanistan set a huge target of 332 runs. Apart from the batsmen, the performance of Afghanistan's bowlers was also very good. Especially Fazalhaq and Muzeeb bowled well. The Afghanistan team is now quite strong. They have a lot of talented players in their squad. It is hoped that they will be able to perform well in the next World Cup.
Afghanistan are taking revenge of there test loss in ODI series. They won first ODI and surely they will win second ODI also.
Yeh they took it too seriously 
and get the handsome results, Today Thier performance were on fire firstly top order smashed every opponent bowler by scoring spectacular centuries which help them to build a big partnership of 200+ which unfortunately didn't carry on by middle order batter and that why they didn't reach 400 target which was expected as according to thier start performance. Ibrahim the only dangerous young batter in ODI format which can put any big names in big trouble.Now through sunsational bowling they almost dismissed every important wicket now they required runrate is too high, I think it will be the second smooth victory for Afghanistan too🥴😎

BAN VS AFG
Afghanistan's two opening batsmen played brilliantly and both batsmen scored centuries. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 145 runs and Ibrahim Zadran scored 100 runs. Afghanistan were able to score 331 runs thanks to a good performance by their opening pair. Bangladesh have so far collected 112 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 27 overs. Bangladesh's opening 2 batting failed, Litton Das was dismissed for 13 runs and Mohammad Naim was dismissed for 9 runs. Middle order batting failed, Nazmul Hussain Shanto 1, Touhid Hriday 16, Sakib Al Hasan 25, Afif Hussain 0. No batsman in Bangladesh has scored 30+ runs so far in today's match. Today, Bangladesh will lose by a huge margin.

Afghanistan batsmen put up a massive partnership of 256 runs which is the highest partnership in ODI cricket in their country's cricket history. And perhaps one of the greatest partnerships by an opening pair, their partnership is the second in ODI cricket history. Ahead of the World Cup, the Afghan cricketers are preparing well against Bangladesh, but Bangladesh's World Cup preparations against the Afghans are not going well at all. The opening batsman of the team is not able to do well, the middle order batsmen of the team are also not able to provide good support, then what hope does this team have to dream of doing well in tournaments like the World Cup. Bangladesh could not perform well either in batting or bowling in the second ODI match. Bangladesh will have to make many changes in their game if they want to do well on the World Cup stage.

Bangladesh won't be able to score 132 runs now. Forget about 332. I've never seen Bangladesh playing like this in their backyard against a team like Afghanistan. No team has been able to win the ODI series against Bangladesh in Bangladesh since 2016 except for England. Afghanistan is the team going to win the series, and tell Bangladesh you have a lot of things to do.
It seems those Toy Tigers will lose the match by a significant margin. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Rashid Khan are bowling exceptionally here. The Toy Tigers are unable to play them. Congratulations to Afghanistan in advance for winning the match and the series.
Right now, with current performance Afghanistan is surely one of the best team in this region and I have feeling you are underestimating them specially after having score like 332 now they are completely dominating this match and series Bangladesh was good few months back but due to bad management and inner politics now they are going down with most chances they will be worst team in Asia Cup and World Cup as well because things are not looking good for them specially in this series I check their bowling, batting and fielding below then average even we can say street level cricket.It seems those Toy Tigers will lose the match by a significant margin. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Rashid Khan are bowling exceptionally here. The Toy Tigers are unable to play them. Congratulations to Afghanistan in advance for winning the match and the series.
Now in today match, I was expecting nearly 390 to 400 from Afghanistan but Bangladesh done good fight back with restricting them at the total of 332 which is also hard to chase with Bangladesh current form and same happening right now we have 93 runs with the lost of 6 wickets and 23 overs gone mean match and series both lost due to poor strategy and playing conditions.
Bangladesh may be playing one of the worst matches in their cricket history today. The Afghan batsmen played with the Bangladeshi bowlers. When Afghanistan were batting against Bangladesh it looked like Chittagong wicket might be completely batting friendly but when Bangladesh came out to bat against Afghanistan in the second innings, it looked like the batsmen of Bangladesh batting looked like the curator might have created a worst wicket where the batsmen could not see the ball. Right now, Bangladesh's position is only 87 runs for 6 wickets after batting 21 overs.
It wouldn't be wrong to call it a revenge worthy of a Test match. Congratulations to Afghanistan in advance as Afghanistan may be going for a 200 plus run win.
