AFG vs BAN Key battles:

Ibrahim Zadran vs Taskin Ahmed

Ibrahim Zadran will look to convert the start that he gets in the second ODI into a big score, which he failed to do in the first outing.

Zadran will have to tackle the bowling of Taskin Ahmed, who was a bit expensive in the first ODI and would want to make a strong comeback in the next match.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz vs Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Rahmanullah Gurbaz would hope to build on the half-century that he scored in the first ODI and play a match-winning innings in the upcoming game.

Gurbaz will go head-to-head against Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who bowled well in the opening game and would want to replicate he same performance in the second fixture as well.

Najmul Hossain Shanto vs Azmatullah Omarzai

Najmul Hossain Shanto, who has been struggling for form in the recent past, would look to get things corrected when he comes to bat in the second ODI against Afghanistan.

Shanto will face the challenge of fast bowling all-rounders, Azmatullah Omarzai, who picked up wickets with the new ball for Afghanistan in the first match and would be entrusted to do the same in the next match.

Towhid Hridoy vs Rashid Khan

Towhid Hridoy, who was one of the two batters to provide some kind of stability to Bangladesh's batting after the team lost early wickets while batting first in the previous match, would be banked upon to carry the same form in the second game.

Hridoy will be up against Rashid Khan, who became the first Afghan bowler to pick 200 wickets in ODI cricket in the previous match, and would want to deliver another match-winning performance.
