Bangladesh vs Afghanistan 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction: BAN vs AFG Possible Playing 11 and Fantasy Picks

In preparations for the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup, Bangladesh will host Asian rivals Afghanistan in the first of the three-match ODI series, on Wednesday (July 5) at the Zhaur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattorgram.

Afghanistan's tour of Bangladesh started off with a massive 546 runs for the visitors in the one-off Test. Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan will look to bounce back in the ODI series and will be boosted by the return of star spinner Rashid Khan, who missed the red ball match last month.

Hosts Bangladesh too, will be boosted by the return of skipper Tamim Iqbal and the availability of star all rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who missed the one-off Test win in June. So, both sides will look to go full strength as they look to build the right combination before the show-piece event in India.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan 1st ODI Match Prediction

Following the Test win and as hosts, Bangladesh start favourites. But with most of the regulars set to return for Afghanistan, the visitors will have a chance as they will be able to field a much more settled team. However, the team that bats first is very likely to win the match.
