Shakib Al Hasan vs Mohammad Nabi

Shakib Al Hasan is in the form of his life and would be looking forward to make the most of it against Afghanistan to earn those crucial two points. On the other hand, Mohammad Nabi would be brimming high with confidence after he nearly pulled off a heist against India, a couple of days back.

Both all-rounders are in terrific form and would be eyeing to outdo each other, in what seems to be a virtual quarter-final for Bangladesh. BAN vs AFG Head-to-Head Record: Ahead of ICC CWC 2019 Clash, Here Are Match Results of Last 5 Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Encounters!

Rahmat Shah vs Mustafizur Rahman

Rahmat Shah played an array of shots against the mighty Indian bowling line-up and showed that talent that he has. It will be a challenge for Bangladesh, especially Mustafizur Rahman to stop him atop, and make inroads early in the innings.

The onus will be on Rahmat or Mustafizur to give their respective sides a good start in the innings. Whoever wins the battle between the two will lay the foundation for a bright start in the match.

Rashid Khan vs Soumya Sarkar

After taking a beating against England, Rashid Khan made amends in his bowling against India and bowled much better lengths. Rashid will be looking to improve his performance further against Bangladesh’s top order, specifically against Soumya Sarkar.

The Bangladesh’s opener is in fine touch and would relish negating Rashid’s threat of spin bowling upfront. Whoever has the upper-hand will surely be a headache for the Opposition as the game progresses.
