BAN vs AFG, 1st ODI, Afghanistan tour of Bangladesh 2022, Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report, and other updates.

BAN will be taking on AFG in the 1st ODI match of the Afghanistan tour of Bangladesh 2022 on Wednesday. The BAN vs AFG game will be played at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram. This will be the first T20 game of this calendar year for both teams. BAN  Played their last T20 series against Pakistan at home in which they got whitewashed 3-0. They will look to perform better against AFG. The skipper Tamim Iqbal is back into the T20 squad after almost 2 years which will be a big positive for the Bangladesh team.

On the other hand, AFG despite being the touring team will look forward to dominating the Bangladesh team at their home. They have got some good experienced players on their side. Having a man in form like Rashid Khan in the squad will be an added advantage for Afghanistan.
