I was expecting this. Bangladesh is in deep $hit. Mujeeb has taken 3 wickets during the first powerplay and as a result Bongs are now struggling at 28/3 after 6 overs. Mujeeb at this point is having amazing figures of 3-0-9-3. And Rashid Khan is yet to bowl a single ball. And the interesting thing is that Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat.
Yes Bangladesh is very under pressure now . Shakib is gone and now musfiq is also LBW I doubt whether Bangladesh can cross 100. I can't see anyone except Mahmudullah as a good batsman in the Bangladesh team. I think Afghanistan already took the match as their favour .

Mushfiqur Rahim and Afif Hossain are at the crease now and they need to make sure that Bangladesh gets to a decent total within the next 14 overs. Mosaddek Hossain and Mahmudullah to come next.
Bangladesh already lost 4 wickets in 8 overs And managed to get only 37 runs. Bangladesh is playing very badly today . I don't see any possibility of Bangladesh winning . Afghanistan are bowling very well and I think they will bat well too . I am fully supporting Afghanistan in today's match with Bangladesh Bangladesh won the toss and decided to batting first . I think it would have been better if Bangladesh chose the ball, because the pitches here are bowling friendly. I think it will be difficult for Bangladesh to bat in front of the Afghanistan bowlers. And soon the game will start I will choose Afghanistan for today.
I am really surprised at this decision by Shakib Al Hasan. Usually, teams winning the toss bowl first as teams chasing won mostly win the matches in Dubai. I wonder what's in his mind while making this move. Also, bangladesh have lost 1 early wicket and not a good start, playing at only 3.4 runs per over in the 4th over. I think bangladesh took the risk which did not paid off well.
Why would you opt to bat after winning the toss? Last IPL and T-20 WC Statistics data is available for everyone to see. Shakib must be smoking weed during a briefing.
Powerplay is done and dusted and 28/3 and it's already looking a another low scoring contest.

I don't think the Bangladesh team is the favorite. Bangladesh also lost against a weak team like Zimbabwe in the last T20 series. On the other hand, Afghanistan's performance against Sri Lanka was outstanding. Afghanistan's players played well in batting and bowling on both sides. Afghanistan's bowling line-up is now very strong.
On the other hand, Afghanistan is ahead in the Bangladesh vs Afghanistan match. If Bangladesh wants to win today, their two openers need to play well. Bangladesh's opening pair is very weak. At the same time spin bowlers also need to play well. If Shakib can perform well then victory will be easy for Bangladesh.
Right now in today match no team is favourite because after first match suddenly peoples are feeling good for Afghanistan, and they are right they completely outclass Sri Lanka in the first match with now most chances in today match we can expect quality match with most chances Afghanistan can win and stand top of the league table with for second spot we have to wait for second match between Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka where any team on the day can win and qualify for top four.On the other hand, Afghanistan is ahead in the Bangladesh vs Afghanistan match.

Recently all these teams are not giving their best just because of this we have some good competition from these unpredictable teams but surely as things are going I have feeling Afghanistan could be much better from these two sides and will stand third after India and Pakistan because they are improving their weak points like fast bowling and batting which is good for them and their future.

You're right that Afghanistan is favorite if we compare to Bangladesh in T20 format. But Bangladesh have enough experience players who can change the game result anytime. Shakib Al Hasan is a dangerous person for any team. I think Bangladesh will be able to win against Afghanistan in their first match.
@Iranus indeed Bangladesh are no longer the formidable team they used to be, and in the past media outlets used to say that Afghanistan is bound to lose easily, but now the same outlets are saying that Bangladesh will be beaten. Also Shakib cannot bail the team single handedly as this Afghanistan side is more hungry for success, and therefore people shouldn’t be fooled by Bangladesh’s past record in case they’re planning to wager on them.
Bangladesh never reached a position where they are able to bet pig-4 teams. And now they look much weaker than they were a few years ago. Afghanistan on the other hand improved tremendously ever since they received the test status. And T20 format is their strongpoint. For today's match, I would say that Afghanistan are clear favorites. Apart from the recent form, a number of Afghan players have the experience in taking part in various T10 and T20 franchise leagues that are hosted in the UAE. The match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will decide who will enter the Super 4.
I am anticipating today's showdown between Bangladesh and Afghanistan with great excitement! For the first match at the Asia Cup 2022, the Tigers are battle-ready in the desert. This will be an exciting match. As for my prediction, Afghanistan is more likely to win in UAE conditions, especially in Sharjah, than Bangladesh.
In this year Asia Cup the first match was one-sided, but the second match was quite fascinating. Bangladesh and Afghanistan will face each other in the third match today. Although Bangladesh is slightly ahead in various betting sites, Afghanistan will play a strong role in the field. The Afghans will be very much ahead of the bowling side. But hopefully this match will also be a competitive match.I don't think the Bangladesh team is the favorite. Bangladesh also lost against a weak team like Zimbabwe in the last T20 series.

Majority of the time i only watch power play and death overs in T-20.
And both powerplays looked boring to me, maybe because wicket was really slow but yeah match was somehow tight in the middle of the Indian's inning.
Would be great if they both make it into the finals. I guess they have never faced each other in Asia cup finals

This time bowlers dominated the powerplay and didn't gave much room for batsmen from either teams. Babar/Rizwan, and Rohit/Kohli had a cautious start to their innings. Rahul went back in the very first over in the Indian innings, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar got the wicket of Babar Azam in the 3rd over of the Pakistani innings. All this slowed down batting and during the chase there was no need to go with a blistering pace early on, since the target was not that large. All the credit goes to the bowlers (from both the teams).
Watched a couple of overs but for some reason got bored, every match seems boring when in setup at UAE.
I do hope not every match is decided because of the toss similar to last last T-20 WC, it's going to be pretty boring tbh if it's taking that route.

Except for a few overs the match between Pakistan and India was a thriller. Even though we have the same pattern of winning the toss and batting first, but I must say that we saw some real fights between the two teams and I would not say that the Indian team won because they win the toss. No, both teams played head to head, and in the end, one team had to lose.
I hope that we see these two teams again play in the finals of this year's Asia cup. It will be another treat to watch if it happens.

If the run rate was around 10 per over, then it'll be interesting to watch the powerplay. Both the teams had the same average on powerplay. During the Indian innings, and in the middle the players doesn't want to lose wickets. This slowed down scoring and the innings went tight.

Most probably it is Afghanistan who will qualify for the next stage and the real battle for the other team will be between Bangladesh and Srilanka.
The chances of Srilanka are slim as they have very low run rate but if Bangladesh loses all their two matches, then for sure the host team Srilanka will qualify.

Run rate will come in to picture if all three teams in the group wins one match each and finish with 2 points. Afghanistan will be at an advantage, since they have a vastly superior run-rate. But in T20I cricket, nothing is predictable. It is entirely possible that Sri Lanka may come back strongly against Bangladesh. They have a large number of players participating in various franchise T20 leagues around the world. But they need a very big win, to get to the Super-4 stage. As of now, the chances are very slim.
In case Afghanistan wins today, then they are through to the super-4. On the other hand, in case Bangladesh wins, then in all probability it will be Bangladesh and Afghanistan who will progress to the next stage. Because Sri Lanka's NRR is extremely low, thanks to their appalling loss in the first match.

BTW, I don't understand the logic in tomorrow's match. Hong Kong is another associate side, which doesn't have a single native player in their squad. Do they have permission from the Hong Kong government to use the national anthem and emblem?
The hong kong team is participating with permission from their government, so what is the problem with using the National anthem? They are representing Hong Kong team. If Hong Kong manages to win the Asia Cup, will the Hong kong government refuse to take it

It would not have been easy for India to win the match if not for the fielding misses. At the same time, Pakistani bowlers gave 14 extra runs, while India gave only 5 runs. These two are one of the main reasons for Pakistan's defeat.
More excuses. India didn't look desperate since the target was low which was why they played slowly. They would have definitely accelerated way earlier if the target was higher. Primary reason for Pakistan's defeat was their batting unit.I can't agree with you because both teams were under a lot of pressure towards the last.
20 runs from 12 balls with around 5 wickets remaining? That's very little pressure especially for batsmen like Jadeja and Pandya.That is what everyone says at the end. Virat Kholi was very happy yesterday as if he knew he is going to win this match. However Pakistani are bit busy in flood relief work seems like there was less excitement of the match
You can come up with different excuses of losing and match fixing is one of the lame excuses. I know match fixing does happen in matches but seeing the performances from both the teams there was no match fixing here. I have no doubt about the commitment shown by the Paki boys in these hot and humid conditions.
Virat Kholi was happy because he managed to make 35 odd runs as he knew he is running in a bad form and this little inning will act as a ventilator for him to remain in the Indian side.
You're right that Afghanistan is favorite if we compare to Bangladesh in T20 format. But Bangladesh have enough experience players who can change the game result anytime. Shakib Al Hasan is a dangerous person for any team. I think Bangladesh will be able to win against Afghanistan in their first match.
