Both teams have shown enough promise of belonging to the elite level but have failed to produce consistent results. Bangladesh lost to Australia in their previous encounter of CWC 2019 after usurping West Indies, while Afghanistan lost by 11 runs to India after coming so close towards victory. The Bengal Tigers had a great opportunity to break into the top four twice in the tournament - once after they beat South Africa and then following their big win over West Indies - but both victories were followed by defeats to New Zealand and Australia respectively. Such inconsistency has left Bangladesh in a must-win situation where they have to secure big victories in their remaining three matches to have any chances of making it to the last four. That should make the BAN vs AFG game an interesting contest and excite the fans of both these teams.
