Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Dream11 Prediction CWC: Players to Watch
Bangladesh
Always more than the sum of their parts, Bangladesh has a tendency to always perform better than what their squad on paper suggests.
Captain and star-allrounder Shakib Al Hasan might be over the hill in his cricket career, but the 26-year-old still has the ability to play a vital role in his side’s success. Couple it with experienced players like batter Mushfiqur Raheem, and pacers Taskin Ahmad and Mustafizur Rahman, the team does have a solid core. Eyes must also be on in-form batters Tamim Iqbal and Tanjid Hasan Tamim
Afghanistan
Rashid Khan is one of the world’s best spin bowlers. He will be flanked by the young spin duo of Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Noor Ahmad.
In terms of batting, Kolkata Knight Riders batter Rahmanulah Gurbaz has shown what he’s got on a global stage. The team will also rely on the experienced middle-order batters Mohammad Nabi and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Dream11 Prediction CWC and Pitch Report
The HPCA Stadium is the smallest ground in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. While its size helps heavy hitters, its pitch is more pace friendly.
With a better-pace bowling unit, Bangladesh will have an advantage, especially if they bowl first. Although, Afghanistan did use Dharamshala as their home ground when they lacked international-level infrastructure a few years back.
While the Afghanistan team has more heavy hitters of the ball, Bangladesh’s style of grounded attacking shots will also help them in the stadium’s conditions.
Afghanistan also has a weather advantage, as the weather and high atmosphere of Dharamshala more closely resemble Afghanistan, giving them somewhat of a home advantage. Despite that, Bangladesh looks to be the better-suited team to the conditions
Prediction: Bangladesh will win match 3 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against Afghanistan
