Majority of the users were in support/favour Afghanistan as the winning team. According to me Bangladesh will be winning the matches. The first ODI is scheduled for 23rd February. With T20 matches we can see unexpected performance changing the entire match. With ODI such possibilities were very low. So I bet on Bangladesh as the winners of the ODI series
Bangladesh have been carving themselves strong to face any team. Afghanistan is no down to them, but at times Afghanistan ends up losing wickets once after a good partnership.

Afghanistan have played 5 test series (all series have single test only) and they have lost only one series so far that is with India. All there home series are in India. They have beaten WI, Bangladesh and Ireland in test matches. Afghanistan and Bangladesh both are team of same level and both have same chances of wining the series.
Here I am also favoring Afghanistan in twenty/20 and for ODI series I have feeling that both teams will fight hard because one is having some experience and second is full of talent with this we are going to have some very exciting matches from these both sides, but Bangladesh is going to have some advantage as they are playing at home and their performance is very good against few teams here even few days back they lost against Pakistan but against Afghanistan they can do some better performance and most chances they will have some important points from this series as well.ICC need to do some work for more cricket for these countries because this is very helpful and players will have some good experience from these matches instead of allowing them for leagues.
Afghanistan is a very good T20 team not gonna lie. They don't have too much experience in one day or test cricket but compared to Bangladesh I think they are actually better in test cricket than Bangladesh.
As far as I can remember I think Bangladesh has played only one test match with Afghanistan and Afghanistan won the test. But in one day international I think Bangladesh is far above than Afghanistan. But I have to say the political situation of Afghanistan is causing them a lot of problems in not only cricket but also almost all other aspects.

Afghanistan is tough, but with the continuous winning Bangladesh will surely have upper hands over the series. Bangladesh have better experience playing against the top teams. Afghanistan cricket is growing good with time, maybe in few years time big teams will surely find it hard to play against them. Right now lack of experienced players is the only drawback which at times make an easy winning match go out of hands.
From what I have seen, the Afghans are competitive only in T20 cricket. Their performance so far in the other two formats (ODI and Test) remains unsatisfactory. There is no dearth of experience in the Afghan squad, as close to a dozen of their players are regulars in various franchise T20 cricket leagues around the world. But apart from the T20 experience, only a few have any sort of familiarity with the longer formats. And given the recent Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, the chances of them establishing a proper domestic 4-day setup appears close to null. Afghanistan is a very good T20 team not gonna lie.

The Indian women's cricket team is not performing badly but I think is actually getting overshadowed by the bigger events like IPL and men's cricket. And BCCI has a really good flow of money from the men's cricket. So, I think even they are not that interested in promoting women's cricket right now.
The Women cricketers are really skilled and they have some incredible players but as a fan how many series do you watch and how many matches have you watched till now. The problem is that they have no attracted the masses to attract the advisers that converts to money. Until then their counterparts will over shadow them.The Indian women's cricket team is not performing badly but I think is actually getting overshadowed by the bigger events like IPL and men's cricket.

I use to watch Women's T20 world cup and i see them entertaining but i doubt i am able to watch the longer version.
I think that the Indian women's cricket team has some good skillful players.
But I only enjoy watching the shorter formats of the women's cricket team because in the longer format I feel like the players become fatigued really quick and because of the fatigue the skill also deteriorates a little. And I know that the people in the subcontinent are not really that much interested in women's cricket so the revenue is not going to be as expected.

The new regime has done good things to continue cricket in Afghanistan. First thing they did was assured icc that women cricket will not be blocked that's the prime reason icc didn't cancelled there membership. Afghanistan is touring India and Bangladesh that's only possible because ACB is backing his team.
In T20 every country is unpredictable since its not proper cricket. Proper cricket is test only and upto some extent ODIs.

@coinism, The New Zealand women's team played really well and won the series against the Indian women's team with two matches to spare. I think it was a really dominating performance by the New Zealand women's team starting from the T20 actually.
They won the matches very convincingly in the end. Let's see if the Indian women's team can salvage something from this series.
We can't say Indian women's team is bad in its performance. In 49.3 overs India lost all the wicket scoring 279 runs. New Zealand batted second even after winning the toss. They played in a much steady manner from the very beginning of the match. Finally New Zealand won the match by the 50th over first ball. Scoring 280 runs, New Zealand have lost 7 wickets. Indian team will give the best in the upcoming days.They won the matches very convincingly in the end. Let's see if the Indian women's team can salvage something from this series.
At best they are competitive, they do play some good cricket but at the same time these girls also expose chinks in their armour. I was hoping 300+ score in last match considering openers set the platform beautifully but then batting collapse, if it wasn't for Deepti Sharma then they wouldn't even able to touch 200 marks. Same with bowling department, despite early wickets every now n then, they keep failing to take wickets in the middle.
I think probably the problem is their physique. In my opinion, they are getting tired quite quickly than the other team and that is a crucial part of the match where they are losing control. I think they are not conserving their energy and paying the price for it because when a player is fatigued she cannot do certain things correctly even though he/she has the skills to do it.

Currently, Bangladesh is in not good shape but still they have very good record against Afghanistan which is also good for them and now playing at home is another good advantage for them because at home they have very good record like beating Australia and New Zealand so right now most chances both teams having fair chance for winning these series of T20 and ODI.For me here, Bangladesh is going with good chance to win because they have very good batsmen and Afghanistan is mostly depending on their bowling, and they have some space in batting which need to fix in future for having some better and fair chance against top ranked teams. But good thing despite many issues both teams are having some good matches for better experience and good exposure of game which will help them in long run.
Yes, I know that Bangladesh has a good record against Afghanistan but the thing is at the moment I personally do not trust them. And there are also a lot of problems in the team right now.
But at the moment with the arrival of the new coach Bangladesh should do relatively well. Actually, I don't know I have mixed feelings about Bangladesh and what they are going to do in the recent future.

Both the teams level in quality because in short format many times we have no favorite the team plays good on this day able to win match because we all know cricket is game of luck one day you are hero and other day you are most hated person in team with this all most chances we will have some very good and entertaining cricket from these two teams of Asian Sub-Continent both are trying to find their way for better future but sadly right now it's very hard for them because Afghanistan is having domestic issues and Bangladesh is not going through as they needed to do for better results their domestic set up is currently having no results which they need for better quality.Here advantage going with Afghanistan because their most players are having very good experience of many leagues around the globe, and they can take good advantage of this all.

In last two series at home against SL and WI, Bangladesh managed to win both of them by 2-1 and 3-0 respectively. So there is fair chance that Bangladesh can win ODI series against Afghanistan also. Afghanistan IMO is much better side then SL and WI, so Bangladesh need to be careful while playing against them.

I think it's quite possible for Afghanistan to beat Bangladesh to be honest because the Bangladesh team is currently not in the best shape or form right now.
Well, Afghanistan is also not in the best shape or form right now too, but I think Afghanistan takes their cricket more seriously than Bangladesh. And obviously, if they can beat Bangladesh the other teams are going to fear them
, what do you think?

The Indian women's team is not playing badly, they are losing despite the good enough. Because the New Zealand women's team is more experienced than the Indian women's team. India have played three ODIs and one T20I match and lost all of them. Another reason for the defeat is that they are not getting the expected performance from the Indian bowlers. Bowlers have to play an important role to win the match.
Scoring 270 runs and then losing the game clearly means you have weak line up that cant defend the decent target. Another thing is that NZ is experienced an they have good batsmen (I dont know whether it should be batswomen) in there side like Amelia Kerr , Amy Satterthwaite and Lauren Down who are consistently good performing.
At best they are competitive, they do play some good cricket but at the same time these girls also expose chinks in their armour.

There is interesting fact in all three ODIs played so far. Regardless of who played first, target in all three matches is in 270s. In First ODIs NZ-W gave target of 275, 2nd ODI India-W gave target of 275 and 3rd ODI India-W gave target of 279. So yes though India-W are losing games but they are competitive in all games despite the fact they are not getting that much support from BCCI as there male cricket team is getting.

It was a close contest we have to admit as Indian team was in the match throughout the game. NZ scored the winning run in very last over of the game. This clearly tells the story that apart from Aus, Eng and NZ, Indian team also has the potential to play quality game. I don't know how much backing Indian W team has from BCCI.
