Afghanistan and Bangladesh will face off in the second ODI of their three-match series on November 9 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Afghanistan, led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, head into this game with confidence after a resounding 92-run victory in the series opener. With this momentum, they will be aiming to secure a win in the second game to clinch the series.
In the first ODI, Afghanistan’s initial struggles saw them reduced to 71-5, but Mohammad Nabi managed to guide them to a challenging total, which Bangladesh ultimately fell short of chasing. Najmul Hossain Shanto’s side will be keen to improve upon their performance after an unfortunate batting collapse. Despite reaching a stable position at 120-3, Bangladesh’s lineup surrendered against 18-year-old Allah Ghazanfar. The visitors were unexpectedly bundled out for 143 in 34.3 overs.
For Bangladesh, this second ODI offers a critical opportunity to bounce back and level the series at 1-1. Shanto and his team will be aiming to adjust their strategy and shore up their middle order to prevent further collapses, hoping to avoid conceding an unassailable lead to Afghanistan.
