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 Cool 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 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.
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.

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.

Bangladesh's batting performance in today's match clearly shows that victory is uncertain for them. In order to win against Afghanistan, Bangladesh must play well. And right now, Bangladesh batsmen are under a lot of pressure. The wickets are falling very quickly, as a result of which the Bangladesh team is not able to collect runs. Afghanistan bowlers Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman put in excellent bowling performances. Bangladeshi batsmen are batting badly at the moment. Bangladesh will lose badly today to Afghanistan. At the moment, Bangladesh's score is not good at all, they have lost 4 wickets for 65 runs. Bangladesh has to play well to win. But at the moment, the batsmen of Bangladesh will not be able to hold the game and of course Bangladesh will lose today's match. And it can be said for sure that they will achieve a huge victory in the great performance of Afghanistan.

Bangladesh is batting with a huge target of 332 runs. Bangladesh's team has won very few matches by batting for such a big target. But since this is Bangladesh's home match, nothing is impossible for Bangladesh. Bangladesh's win is definitely possible if the top order is able to bat responsibly. Mohammad Naim and Liton Das are opening. Bangladesh fans will have more expectations from these two players today. Also experienced batsmen like Shakib and Mushfiqur must play well today.
Bangladesh cannot always play according to a certain performance. many times it is seen that they can win the match by exceeding the target of Hughes run and sometimes they lose the easy matches too. But looking at today's performance, it is absolutely certain that Bangladesh is going to lose the match as Bangladesh lost 2 wickets including Liton Das Shanto to collect only 20 runs. Seeing such a target, Bangladesh has already lost confidence from themselves

Look like that Afghanistan will win this T20 match against Bangladesh and will win the series too. Afghanistan scored a massive score 331 and this is a match winning total. We have seen the record first wicket partnership between the openers Rahmanullah Gurba and Ibrahim Zadran of 245 runs. Both of them scored 100+ runs (Gurbaz made 145 runs).

In response, Bangladesh is struggling at 38 runs with three wickets down.
I don't see Bangladesh can recover from this situation.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan, 2nd ODI match Afghanistan is doing great batting performance. The way Afghanistan batted today was really great. Bangladesh are not performing very well today due to which they have managed to take only one wicket so far. Afghanistan have done a good enough batting performance today with the way their run rate has increased, they are sure to win today. Already Afghanistan batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz who has to be praised has collected 145 runs off 125 balls today. Big collection for Afghanistan if Bangladesh can't give good bowling performance then today Afghanistan will bat well in last minute. Another great batsman Ibrahim Zadran has done an amazing batting performance to score a century with 80 runs from 97 balls. Afghanistan's total score at the moment is 259 runs in 37.2 overs with 2 wickets.
Bangladesh played very badly in the first ODI against Afghanistan which was not expected. In the second match today, Afghanistan batted first and crossed 300 runs in 46 overs.  And they still have 4 overs to play and they have only lost 5 wickets so far so they still have a chance to collect more runs.  So Bangladesh is under much more pressure today. I expected Bangladesh to win the first match but they lost very badly and since Afghanistan are going to target Hughes runs in today's match, I don't think Bangladesh will win today's match.

Afghanistan performed very well and collected 331 runs. But opening batsmen Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zardan contributed the most among the 331 runs collected. Because the rest of the wickets were given away in a short period of time, Bangladesh should have kept Afghanistan under pressure by bowling first. Afghanistan and Bangladesh will be a very competitive match as Bangladesh will have to perform well to win this match. Bangladesh batsmen have to score good runs from the opening and be careful in protecting the wickets only then Bangladesh can win.
Afghanistan set a target of 331 for 9 to Bangladesh and it was really a great performance for Afghanistan. We believe that Bangladesh is a good team and expect much better from Bangladesh.  But Bangladesh's performance sometimes disappoints us which we have seen in the first matches so in today's match also I feel a lot of confusion that Bangladesh will be able to beat the target of 331 runs and present themselves as a strong team. Bangladesh start the game and they can take one run in the first 1 over lol
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran put up an impressive display of batting, both scoring centuries to lead Afghanistan to a commanding total against Bangladesh. Now, Bangladesh faces the challenging task of chasing down 332 runs to survive in this ODI series. It certainly won't be an easy task, let's see if the Bangladeshi batsmen can chase down this big target. After brilliant batting performance by the Afghan team, it is now the bowlers' turn to shine and win the series.
update- Bangladesh have already lost their two batsmen Liton 13(15), Shanto 1(5).

Afghanistan's opening pair played extremely well as they both managed to score centuries. Seeing their batting, at one time it seemed that the bowling of Bangladesh was very helpless for them in today's match. I would say Bangladeshi captain Liton Das did not seem to be able to capitalize on the decision to win the toss and field. Team Bangladesh is batting a target of 331 runs, this target will be difficult for Bangladesh. So anyway Bangladesh did not bowl very well today they have to focus on batting now. We definitely want Bangladesh team to win.

Afghanistan batted brilliantly from the start. Especially Gurbaz batted over the Bangladeshi bowlers. He scored his fourth career century and his career highest in an innings in ODI cricket. It will be a challenging innings for Bangladesh if Afghanistan stay between 340 and 350 runs. Because bowlers like Rashid Khan Mujibur Rahman Farooqi in Afghanistan will be complicated for Bangladesh.

Afghanistan collected 256 runs without losing any wickets in 36 overs. Since they were able to put together more than 250 for the first wicket, it was assumed that Afghanistan would at least put up more than 370. But this is not the case. After 37 overs, they kept losing wickets. And in 50 overs they managed to collect 331 runs losing 9 wickets. I would not call 331 runs a bad collection. But the way they started their innings, if the middle order batted with some responsibility, they could have collected even 400 runs. Since the pitch is not bowling-friendly, there is still a chance for Bangladesh to win. Bangladesh's top order will win if they play well.

Afghanistan played well.They gave Bangladesh a target of 332 runs which looks tough for Bangladesh. In this match we saw two centuries which helped Afghanistan to score more runs. Afghanistan played great in this match. In cricket we also saw 350+ runs chase. Bangladesh If the opening can make a partnership of 100+ without losing any wicket then it will be a plus point for Bangladesh to win. But the middle order batsmen must score 50+ runs to help their team to win. But it remains to be seen how long the Bangladeshi batsmen can survive the bowling of Rashid Khan and Mujeeb.

Bangladesh VS Afghanistan

Bangladesh may not win the ODI series against Afghanistan. After winning the toss, Bangladesh captain Liton Das decided to field. But the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers is very bad today. They could not take any wickets even in 35 overs. At the end of 35 overs, Afghanistan collected 242 runs. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz remained unbeaten with 132 runs and Ibrahim Zadran 78 runs. And if they continue to bat like this, Afghanistan will give a target of more than 370 today. It is very unlikely that the Bangladesh team will win by batting on such a big target.
There is no way Bangladesh can win against Afghanistan today, as they will take a target of 400 runs as Afghanistan's opening pair are scoring runs at a fast pace. As Afghanistan's batting at familiar venues and at home in Bangladesh, it looks like Afghanistan are on the field today to win the series. As Afghanistan's opening pair has already made a partnership of 250 runs. Rahmatullah Gurbaz (145) and Ibrahim Zadran (79) remain unbeaten. If Bangladesh cannot break this pair then it can be assumed for sure that they will score 400 runs and Bangladesh bowling department has failed.

Edited
Breakthrough by Shakib.
Rahmatullah (145 )lbw by Shakib

Afghanistan lost two wickets in a row. After Rahamanullah Gurbaz got out after scoring 145 runs, Rahmat Shah returned to the fold with just 2 runs. But Ibrahim Zadran is still at the crease with 83 runs. The team managed to collect 263 runs in 38 overs. Afghanistan will collect at least 80-100 more runs in 72 balls. And collecting more than that is not surprising. The target will be more than 350. But perhaps Afghanistan will not be able to collect 400 runs. It is much more difficult to win by batting at a target of 350 runs on such a pitch. The Bangladesh team is probably going to lose the series due to defeat in the first two matches.
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.
