Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Prediction: Afghanistan can win and move to semis

Afghanistan and Bangladesh are going head to head in Match 12 of the ICC T20 World Cup at Arnos Vale Stadium, Arnos Vale, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on 25th June 2024. Afghanistan can win and move to the semis of the World Cup. Who will win this game of cricket?

Defeating Australia in any form of the game can boost a country's confidence, but winning against them in a crucial T20 World Cup match highlights the need for the cricketing world to take Afghanistan seriously. The victory was mainly due to the strong performance of opening batters Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, who contributed 118 runs for the first wicket. Despite only adding 30 more runs in the final 24 balls, the total of 148/6 was too much for Australia to chase. Afghanistan used eight bowlers against Australia, indicating a possible similar strategy for future matches.

Taskin Ahmed, the vice captain, was absent in Bangladesh's loss to India on Saturday. However, it is anticipated that he will return to the team and replace Jaker Ali for the upcoming match. Despite a lackluster performance against India, Bangladesh still has a chance in the tournament and securing a significant victory in the next game could potentially lead them to the semi-finals. This would mark a remarkable comeback for Najmul Hossain Shanto's team, especially considering their recent struggles in the T20I series against USA just over five weeks ago.

Both Bangladesh and Afghanistan have a chance to make it to the semi-finals, but Afghanistan has clearly outperformed Bangladesh in this tournament. We believe that Afghanistan is the stronger team and predict that they will emerge victorious. Our support is behind Afghanistan to win.
