The Bangladesh cricket team has already reached the United Arab Emirates to play the three-match ODI series where Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in the first match of the ODI series today. Recently, Bangladesh's performance has been very poor and Bangladesh has performed poorly in every format as well as in the Emerging Asia Cup where the recently concluded Emerging Asia Cup was championed by Afghanistan. Although Afghanistan has quality bowlers and batsmen, Bangladesh does not have quality batsmen, so it will not be a matter of surprise if Bangladesh loses in the first ODI match on the soil of United Arab Emirates.
If Afghanistan win the toss against Bangladesh, they will definitely take the fielding decision as they will want to quickly all out Bangladesh and bat in the second innings to ensure victory against Bangladesh.
Yes, today will be the first match of ODI series between Bangladesh vs Afghanistan. Bangladesh lost badly in the last two Test series because of the failure of the Bangladeshi batsmen. Bangladesh batsmen have not been able to perform well against India and South Africa. However, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan, Mahmudullah Riyad, Towhid Hridoy have been added to the Bangladesh squad in this series, so hopefully Bangladesh's batting line will improve against Afghanistan. Anyway, I don't expect much from Bangladesh team, because if Bangladeshi batsmen luckily do well in 1 match, they are seen to bat badly in 10-12 matches. Bangladesh can do well in this series as it is an ODI format. Now let's see how Bangladesh performs in today's match.
