I don't think that the Bangladesh team will be able to start the World Cup journey in such a great way. The team played great. Especially the Bangladeshi spin bowlers controlled the match. Shakib took 3 wickets and Miraj 4 wickets. Shakib's bowling was excellent. Shakib picked up all three important wickets of Afghanistan's top order. And this is why the Afghanistan team can no longer return to the truck. The coach of the Bangladesh team understood the pitch condition very well.
Although Bangladesh won quite easily, Bangladesh's top order failed as usual today. Tanzid is out like a fool today. Players should play responsibly in such an important World Cup match. Also Liton is yet to return to form. Miraz and Shanto's excellent partnership gave Bangladesh an easy win. Both have collected more than 50.

It's the openers who failed to score runs today for Bangladesh but there number 3rd and 4th batsmen scored fifties today. Its good overall performance from Bangladesh today. Afghanistan is a strong cricketing side and you can expect them to bowl out so cheaply. Mehidy Hasan Miraz had game of his life, first he picked 3 wickets and then a half century.

I have no expectations from Bangladesh's openers. I can't remember the last time I saw this team's opening pair play well. The opening pair of Bangladesh team rarely plays well. The entire performance of this team depends on the performance of their middle order and bowlers. There are several experienced batsmen in the middle order. And the performance of Bangladesh's bowlers is decent. Bangladeshi spin bowlers as well as pace bowlers have done well in today's match. Bangladesh got more advantage as the pitch was spin friendly. Batting against Shakib and Miraz on a spin friendly pitch is not easy at all. Also we saw good bowling from Shorigul, Mustafiz and Taskin in this match.
