2 interesting encounters coming up people. We have Afghanistan and Bangladesh duking it out and it's tough to tell who will win among them since they seem evenly matched, but my bet is on Bangladesh.
Also, we have South Africa taking on Sri Lanka and am expecting them to comfortably defeat the Lankans primarily thanks to their great batting line-up.
Currently, Afghanistan's performance is relatively poor. Our Bangladesh is currently much stronger than Afghanistan. In the last 2015 and 2019 World Cups, we started by winning the first match. Hopefully we can start with a win in today's first match of the World Cup. If we look at past matches we can say that Bangladesh is definitely stronger than Afghanistan. But nothing can be said for sure here because it is impossible to tell what happens on the field of play. Good luck to you. Hope your bet is successful. I used to participate in betting but unfortunately due to problem with my betting account I am not able to participate in betting.
Both team has a good performance and both team has 50/50 chance to win. Bangladesh is considered a good team, this time Afghanistan is not a bad team either. Afghanistan are batting first and have scored 20 runs in 4 overs so far. The quality of play is not bad, Afghanistan can probably give Bangladesh a target of 260+ runs. Achieving such a target will not be very easy for Bangladesh but it is not impossible either. Taskin Ahmed conceded only 8 runs in 2 overs. His bowling quality is very good. The performance of both the teams looks very good in the match
Bangladesh's captain Shakib Al Hasan made a breakthrough, dismissing Zadran for 22 off 25 balls. Afghanistan appears to be a well-rounded team, particularly in their bowling department. In the World Cup stage, Bangladesh has often proven to be trustworthy. While Afghanistan team has yet to register their first victory against Bangladesh in this ODI World Cup stage. The question remains: can Afghanistan get their first ODI World Cup victory against Bangladesh? Let's see.
There is no guarantees in cricket as any team can create any situation at any time. If you talk about the rapid rise of a country in cricket, the name of Afghanistan will come up. They have prepared their team in such a way that any big team has to play with pressure to play them. However, they are yet to achieve anything good in their major tournaments in ODI cricket. But they are confident that they will achieve something good in cricket in the future. Afghanistan is performing well in today's match. They have lost one wicket but are leading in the run rate. Moreover, those who are later in the batting lineup are also more reputable batsmen. Overall, the situation in Afghanistan is good. However, if a few wickets fall in consecutively, Bangladesh can come back in the match.
The start was also good for Afghanistan. Afghanistan lost 6 wickets in the middle and came under a lot of pressure. As Afghanistan's 6 wickets have fallen, it will not be possible to overcome Afghanistan's pressure and do well. Our Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl first because Shakib Al Hasan already knows that today's pitch will be a bowling pitch. But the way Afghanistan started it looked like today would be a batting pitch rather than a bowling pitch. Currently, Afghanistan have collected 126 runs in 30 overs with the loss of 6 wickets. I think Afghanistan can score a maximum of 220+ runs. And if Bangladesh can stop Afghanistan within 250 runs then it will be very easy for Bangladesh to win today's match. I am always with the Bangladesh team, let's move forward Bangladesh cricket team.
