What is your prediction about this match? I would say Afghanistan has the best chance of winning. I have seen the performance of Bangladesh in the last two series. Bangladesh team performed very badly in T20 and Test series against India. We have also seen Bangladesh's poor performance in the home series against South Africa. The performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is very poor.

Afghanistan team is very strong at the moment. This Afghanistan squad has the ability to challenge any big team. Afghanistan's bowlers are also in good form. Since Bangladeshi batsmen's performance is very erratic, I consider Afghanistan as favorite in this series. Expect Afghanistan to win the series easily. Moreover, Afghanistan players are well familiar with this pitch of Sarjah. Afghanistan's batsmen are also capable of batting very well on this pitch.

You are right, I agree with you. Afghanistan forces will do well in this field. You should also know that Bangladesh team has the ability to beat any team in ODI matches. In today's match, Bangladesh's bowling is performing well. Afghan forces have collected 100 runs after losing 5 wickets after 26 overs. If the Bangladesh team can keep the Afghan forces within 220 runs, they will have a better chance of winning the match. If you have watched the previous ODIs, you know that Towhid Hriday, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Mehdi Miraz have consistently played well in ODIs. And in today's match, if the opening pair of the Bangladesh team can put up a score of 60-70 runs, then the pressure will be less on those who will bat later. And those who will bat in the middle order can easily prevent the Afghanistan team's score. Hope Bangladesh team will win the match.

In the end my guess was correct. Afghanistan team won the first ODI match by a big margin. Although at the beginning of the match I thought that maybe Bangladesh will win the match. Because the Bangladeshi bowlers got off to a great start. Afghanistan lost wickets very quickly. But Hashmatullah Shahidi and Mohammad Nabi changed the whole scenario. Afghanistan lost 4 wickets for 35 runs and 5 wickets for 71 runs. Even then, Afghanistan managed to settle down a target of 236 runs.

Bangladeshi batsmen's batting was also very weak today. And that was to be expected. In very few matches we have seen Bangladeshi batsmen batting well. Batsmen like Mahmudullah, Mushfiq and Hridoy batted like fools. The Bangladesh team was defeated by a big margin of 92 runs. This team is now not able to perform well in T20, ODI and Test formats. Teams like UAE and USA may be able to perform better than Bangladesh now.

The Bangladesh team had a good start, but as soon as the break broke, the wickets started to fall like a storm. No batsman could settle down, although in the end Mahmudullah Riyad and Mushfiqur Rahim were the two most relied upon. But even they are experienced batsmen, they could not survive for long, this is where the failure of the Bangladesh team remains because the batsmen of the Bangladesh team are very weak. Either way, wickets keep falling one after another, which has been observed towards the end in this match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh. The only reason Bangladesh team lost in this match was poor batting performance.
