2nd ODI b/w Bangladesh and Afghanistan is underway at Chattogram and this time Bangladesh is batting first after they won the toss. There is 12 extra runs given by Afghanistan in 3 overs including 6 wides, not a good thing from bowling perspective. Bangladesh got 6 early wickets in first ODI but losing the game afterwards, Bangladesh must have this thing in there mind.

After the incredible victory of the first ODI, the players of Bangladesh are confident today. Afghanistan is a very tough opponent for Bangladesh. So winning the match against them will not be easy. Today, the beginning of Bangladesh has been quite good. Collecting 36 runs in 6 overs, they did not lose any wicket. However, when the opening pair broke, Bangladesh quickly lost a few more wickets. As a result, middle order batsmen have to play responsibly.

Afghanistan hadn't started their innings pathetically like Bangladesh. Afghanistan lost their wickets frequently during the death overs of their innings. Where Bangladesh has lost their first 6 wickets at the starting moment of the match. Afghanistan started slowly, but they hadn't lost wickets like Bangladesh at the start of their batting.

Afghanistan got six early wickets on just 45 runs and it was very much predicted that Afghanistan will surely win the match until Afif and Mirza stepped on the crease and had a 174-run seventh-wicket stand that took Bangladesh to victory. I would say its just because of inexperience of Afghanistan that they lose the game as they were not able to continue pressure on Bangladesh for more wickets.

I think Afghanistan could do something that Bangladesh didn't even realize. That is about the pitch, the pitch really seems to favor the new ball bowlers, because at the start of each innings we saw noticeable movement from the new fast bowlers, but as the match went on the pitch kind of died and the track was most suitable for batting by then.

Even captain Tamim Iqbal said the same thing in the post-match presentation. But the youngsters proved us wrong and showed their extraordinary talent.
The whole thing has happened unexpectedly. No one expected such comeback from Bangladeshi youngsters, where the experienced players failed to score much.

I think only Shakib got out really unlucky but the others were because of really good bowling. Shakib Al Hasan chopped the ball onto his own stumps. Other than that all the other five wickets that were taken by Afghanistan had pure skills in them.

And let's be honest all of us thought that Bangladesh was not going to win that match in any way. Even captain Tamim Iqbal said the same thing in the post-match presentation. But the youngsters proved us wrong and showed their extraordinary talent.


174 runs partnership for 7 wickets is never been easy for any team especially when you have very young players on the crease, but today they have done this and Afghanistan is surely feeling worst ever after losing this first match from this point because this is a big defeat with having such a good performance in the start.
I did not expect this turnaround when they lost the 6th wicket as i was expecting Afghanistan to win the match when Bangladesh lost their 6th wicket but then Afghanistan lost the plot completely as Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz played their innings of their life time to take Bangladesh home and it is a great comeback victory for them and will cherish for a long time.
I have a different take on this while Afghanistan did lose the game, they ended up gaining valuable experience that the game isn’t over till the last wicket falls or all the overs are finished and this shall help them grow. Furthermore both sides gave their best, but it was clear that Bangladesh player’s showed better determination to win this game and in the end won it, so Afghanistan should pick on the positives and work on further improving their game.

After losing four matches very closely today we have first won of this tour with now world cup is coming in few days very good and disciplined batting from Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur and Captain Mithali Raj give Team India very good break through, and they chase a very healthy target of 251 with 24 balls remaining.

Now just after four days World Cup is going to start and India going to face Pakistan in their first match of this mega event on 4th March surely it is easy match and this series is going to help them in this mega event because this was good experience for these women's because after this they are going to face New Zealand and this win can give them some good confidence for this match.

That's a good win for india, they will now participate in WC with some positive mindset that they can beat big teams like England, Aus and NZ. It was an easy win today for india as all of there batsmen except Shafali Verma contributed there part.
There is hardly any interest in Ind W vs Pak W World Cup match. Only India M vs Pak M is given importance. Doss anyone here know how many Women teams are participating in this WC?

IND-W are trying there best to avoid whitewash by the hands of NZ-W. So far Indian team have lost every game they played in this series one T20 and 4 ODIs. Right now Indian team need 41 runs of 57 balls with 7 wickets in hands and it seems like Indian team can have there first victory of this series.

India W has won the last ODI with 6 wickets. They barely saved themselves from being whitewashed.

This is the first win for India women's national cricket team, in this series. I think they need to get their games up. Or else in the upcoming events, they are not going to do very well.

Because these games are going to make Newzealand-W very confident going forward. But India-W should realize their mistakes and work on them. It's going to be really interesting to see what the Indian women can produce after this.

What an end to the first match amazing performance from Bangladesh lower-order batsmen, and they win this match surely one of their greatest wins in ODI with target 215 was looking very easy but as Afghanistan has done a great job and has 45/6 most people were feeling it's going to be a one-sided game but at the end of day Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan both play a great knock for their country and win this match against all odds.

Right now I am not favouring your this statement that Bangladesh can win this series easily with the score of 3 - 0 because these both teams have very interesting facts in last 8 matches Bangladesh won 5 and Afghanistan won 3 with in last 5 matches against different sides Bangladesh won 4 out 5 and Afghanistan won 5 out of 5, so this is going to be very tough series for both teams both having services of few very talented and skilled players now Bangladesh done some good job as they bring few new faces with most experienced players because this is very important time for bringing youths in front of old and experienced players for better performance in future.
With new Head Coach Stuart Law and having good experience against West Indies and Sri Lanka, surely they will be in upper hand, but Afghanistan is also not an easy side to be beaten.
Well, Afghanistan is certainly not an easy opponent and they have already shown it by taking 6 wickets for only 45 runs. But Bangladesh has also made a really good comeback since then. I think this is going to be an interesting time for Bangladesh cricket as they are desperate to prove themselves in my opinion, just because they have faced a lot of criticism in recent times. What Bangladesh has shown in the first match against Afghanistan till now I think they need to improve their batting.

Bangladesh's top order has always been weak. Especially the opening two batsmen can never form a big partnership. Bangladesh team is always weak in this regard. But today other batsmen also surprised me. Of course I expected responsible batting from Shakib and Mushfiqur. Shakib or Mushfiqur needed to bat responsibly when Bangladesh lost their wickets quickly. But in the next match we will expect good performance from Shakib, Mushfiqur and Tamim. Because in BPL they showed good enough performance.

Afghanistan 215/10 - 49.1

After batting first, Afghanistan failed to reach a respectable score. During their 50th over, Afghanistan lost their last wicket.
Najibullah Zadran scores 67 off 84 balls to take them to 200. However, Afghanistan is still an average total despite his good performance. The total is possible for Afghanistan to defend because its bowling attack is superior to Bangladesh's. In other case, Bangladesh's team will easily chase the run because they have great batsmen like Shakib, Tamim, Rahim.
215 is not a good score in an ODI. Bangladesh will easily win this match and as expected this match has become a one-sided match. Now days you need a minimum of 250 runs on board if you want to win a match. The lower middle-order of Afghanistan was completely destroyed with a couple of batters getting out for a duck.

Well, I got news for you. Bangladesh lost 6 wickets only for 45 runs. And then something really unbelievable happened, 2  youngsters, Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan made a big partnership and they are still in the crease and now the score is 198-6.  Shocked

Now they only need 18 runs from 27 balls. These two batsmen seem to be proving themselves when the greats failed.
Bangladesh did it, From 45/6 to 219/6. A Historical day for Bangladesh cricket.

Two youngsters, Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan lead Bangladesh achieve the target and helps win over Afghanistan. After speedy wicket falling the two youngsters scripted a historical run chase which bring Bangladesh a stunning victory, but at initial stage Bangladeshi senior batters made it critical all together. Congratulations Bangladesh cricket team, had a great match.

I would say that chances are rather 50%-50%. Bangladesh has underperformed for quite some time, and they are overdependent on some of their star players. Afghanistan obviously relies on Rashid Khan, but even in his absence the other players can chip in. Bangladesh will be having the home advantage, which they have used effectively against some of the SENA nations. But it needs to be seen whether they can do the same against Afghanistan, who have familiar spin-friendly conditions back home. And if they create spin-friendly pitches, then Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rahman are going to be super happy.

We will see shortly who will dominate this series as Afghanistan has won the toss and decided to bat. Rashid Khan just left PSL in half way to perform national duty at Bangladesh. Afghanistan team is going with 3 spinners Nabi, Rashid and Mujeeb, there is fare chance that wicket is spinner friendly.
Afghanistan 6/0 after one over.

Right now the winning probability of Bangladesh is found to be 70% and Afghanistan is just 30%. When the match goes live things will change. By now Afghanistan was scheduled to play against Zimbabwe, but for some reason it has got delayed. Now Afghanistan is touring Bangladesh, both the teams are in good form. Afghanistan is playing after marking it's series win against Netherlands. Bangladesh have drawn the test series against New Zealand and now getting ready to play Afghanistan in its home soil.
