After 50 overs, Bangladesh has reached a total of 334/5.
They've set a big target against Afghanistan. In a crucial must-win match for Bangladesh, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz really came through. Mehidy played better today, and I've always believed he deserved a higher batting position. Maybe he should consistently open the innings for the team. Anyway, Let's see how things roll out.

[Vaskiy]

Month ago Bangladesh played against Afghanistan in a three match ODI series. Afghanistan won the series 2-1 and Bangladesh this time very careful in its play. In today's match performance from Hasan(112 runs) and Shanto(104 runs) is really big and very supportive in reaching a target of 334 runs. This is going to be a tough target and looks like a confirmed win for Bangladesh. Handling the pressure situation Afghanistan should have a strong opening, maybe that could help in winning the match or lose it by a small margin.

[synchronym]

Bangladesh team's batting was very good in today's match, especially Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Nazmul Hasan Shanto batted very well. Both of them scored centuries Mehdi Hasan Miraz scored 112 runs off 119 balls and Shanth scored 104 runs off 105 balls. Unfortunately Mehdi Hasan Miraj got injured due to which he could not play fully if he could have played full they would have increased the run rate a bit more. Today's game every player of Bangladesh played very well due to which they managed to score 334 runs today, now Bangladesh bowlers should restrict Afghanistan to minimum runs if they can beat Afghanistan by a big margin then Bangladesh will survive to play super four. I want Bangladesh to beat Afghanistan by a huge margin so that Bangladesh can play in the Super Four.

[NomiPk]

What a batting performance by Mihedy Hasan Miraz, Shakib-Al-Hasan, and Najmul Hossain Shanto. When Bangladesh lost their first two wickets people think that Bangladesh lost this match. But, what a comeback from Bangladesh, and Bangladesh gave the target of 335. So, Afghanistan does struggle to win this match and This is an important match for Bangladesh. If Bangladesh wins this match with a good run rate Bangladesh has a chance to qualify for Super four (4).

[Popkon6]

Bangladesh scored 334 runs, which is a big star for the Afghanistan team. I think there is no way Afghanistan can score that big today because opening batsman Gurbaz lost a wicket almost at the beginning. Gurbaz was in the main batting line but made a quick decision at the start, he should have been hit by the bat if he hadn't touched the ball. Afghanistan team is under a lot of pressure for now as Shariful Islam along with Taskin is the best bowling for now. Bangladesh players must keep the Afghanistan team under pressure with proper bowling line then Bangladesh can win.

Today's match is very important for Bangladesh and Bangladesh must win today's match even with more NRR. If Bangladesh can beat Afghanistan in today's match and if Sri Lanka can beat Afghanistan in the match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan then Bangladesh will have a chance to qualify. To say that the real task for Bangladesh is to win today's match. However, if Bangladesh's opening pair plays badly, then it becomes very difficult for Bangladesh to form a big partnership with the next batsmen.

Rashid Khan a master of spin had an unexpected day giving up 66 runs in his 10-over performance against Bangladesh during the Asia Cup 2023 match without taking a wicket. Despite this Bangladesh was still able to score an outstanding 334-5 in the stipulated 50 overs. Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Nazmul Hasan Shanto who formed a great partnership and led their side to a dominant position, were the standout players for Bangladesh.
What a magnificent hundred from Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Nazmul Hasan Shanto. While Naim and Tawhid Hridoy only played for a short while, Bangladesh overall batting performance in today match 334 Posted demonstrated their impressive form.

In today's match, Afghanistan's two bowling all-rounders Mohammad Nabi bowled 10 overs and remained wicketless with 50 runs, Rashid Khan bowled 10 overs and remained wicketless with 66 runs, Afghanistan's pace bowler Fazalhaq Farooqui also bowled 10 overs and remained wicketless. Basically, the batsmen had a lot of advantage on today's pitch where Bangladesh scored 334 runs in the innings while only two bowlers were able to take two wickets without two run outs. If Afghanistan can perform well in today's match then maybe we will see something great. But Afghanistan are under pressure with the loss of one wicket to begin with and time will tell how well they can handle this pressure.

This is a must win game for Bangladesh and they really played well in this match. The target of 335 runs won't be easy for the Afghanistan team to chase. The Bangladesh team started slowly, kept wickets in hand and eventually accelerated at the depth of the innings. Century by two of their players Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Najmul Hossain Shanto really helped the Bangladesh team today.

Afghanistan lost an early wicket for their in form batsmen and captain Rahmanullah Gurbaz. They are now 22 for 1 and they need to play sensibly in order to chase this target.

I think in today's match Afghanistan can't chase the target of Bangladesh, because the main player of Afghanistan Rahmanullah Gurbaz is gone out, which is a very bad thing for Afghanistan and Bangladesh needs to win this match with a nice and good NRR. Then Bangladesh can qualify for Super4.

I agree with you that Bangladesh can win today. Today, the Bangladesh team will give a proper answer to those who criticized them for being weak and weak.
Especially when many big legendary cricketers compare Bangladesh with Nepal, today's match will be a beautiful answer. Moreover, Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Mehdi Meraj were being despised for various reasons in the local media, however, they have responded today through their performance that they have entered the field with the ability to be in the team. Both scored centuries I congratulate them, their performance today will bode well for their careers.
And talking about the result of today's match, I think Bangladeshi can win today because Afghanistan's batting line-up doesn't seem strong enough to chase such a big target.

[Haunebu]

Bangladesh came back strongly in this match so far. Hasan, Al Hasan and Shanto were brilliant with the bat while the Afghanistan bowlers looked clueless. Seems like another one sided encounter basically.

I think in today's match Afghanistan can't chase the target of Bangladesh, because the main player of Afghanistan Rahmanullah Gurbaz is gone out, which is a very bad thing for Afghanistan and Bangladesh needs to win this match with a nice and good NRR. Then Bangladesh can qualify for Super4.

Am not expecting Afghanistan to win either, but Bangladesh will most probably not win this one by a huge margin since this looks like a batting track.

In today's match performance from Hasan(112 runs) and Shanto(104 runs) is really big and very supportive in reaching a target of 334 runs. This is going to be a tough target and looks like a confirmed win for Bangladesh. Handling the pressure situation Afghanistan should have a strong opening, maybe that could help in winning the match or lose it by a small margin.

I also thought about that. Bangladesh did not perform well against Afghanistan in their recent series. Afghanistan is a strong side with some world-class bowlers. If any team can score 300+ runs against them, the credit goes to the opponent. If Bangladesh can win this match and Sri Lanka win against Afghanistan, then Bangladesh will play in super four.

There are some other equations as well. Even if Sri Lanka lose against Afghanistan, the Margin should be very little so they don't get any plus points. Currently Bangladesh NRR is -0.951 which is negative. Bangladesh should try to win with a big margin today.

Bangladesh scored 334 runs, which is a big star for the Afghanistan team. I think there is no way Afghanistan can score that big today because opening batsman Gurbaz lost a wicket almost at the beginning. Gurbaz was in the main batting line but made a quick decision at the start, he should have been hit by the bat if he hadn't touched the ball. Afghanistan team is under a lot of pressure for now as Shariful Islam along with Taskin is the best bowling for now. Bangladesh players must keep the Afghanistan team under pressure with proper bowling line then Bangladesh can win.

Although Afghanistan lost one wicket in the beginning, Afghanistan managed to build a good partnership at the moment. Rahmat Shah and Ibrahim Zadran formed a good partnership, but now Rahmat Shah has returned to the pavilion bowled out by Taskin Ahmed. This wicket of Rahmat Shah was a very important wicket for Bangladesh. Bangladesh made many telling changes to bring down this wicket pair and finally Taskin Ahmed was able to bring down this wicket pair. Afghanistan still has a long way to go to win, if there is no big partnership then Afghanistan's chances of winning this match are very low. The less runs Afghanistan score in each over, the more their required run rate will increase in the next over, so to reduce the pressure, Afghanistan must keep wickets in addition to scoring runs in each over.

[JSRAW]

It turned into a death match now. Afghans need a Khudrati charisma with a couple of blinder innings or they are almost out of this tournament.

From the broadcaster's point of view If everything goes alright then we are looking at India vs Pakistan fianls. Bongs and Lankans need to up their game and produce some fine upsets for a meltdown.

In today match the batting performance of Bangladesh team has been superb. Bangladesh set a good target of 334 runs for Afghanistan team in 50 over and lost 5 wickets. M. Hasan and N. Shanto batting performances have been exceptional with both player scoring centuries. M. Hasan scored 112 runs in 119 balls and N. Shanto scored 104 runs in 105 balls which is quite impressive. Compared to the previous match Bangladesh performance has been very good this time and with such strong batting performance they are likely to win this match easily.

The Afghanistan team scored 160 run in 32.2 overs and lost 3 wickets. Afghanistan needs 171 runs which seems quite challenging in almost 17 overs. If I. Zardan had not been out then Afghanistan chances of winning would have been much higher. Now let's see what the final result of the match.

Bangladesh batted very well. Afghanistan are unlikely to win this match. Unless a miracle happens and the Bangladeshi bowlers bowl very badly, Afghanistan have a chance of winning. Although Afghanistan is batting quite well. Afghanistan managed to collect 184 runs in 35 overs. But they still need 151 runs from 90 balls. It is very difficult.

If Bangladesh wants to secure the next round then Bangladesh will have to win by a big margin. Perhaps Bangladesh have a chance of qualifying for the next round if Afghanistan's innings stops short of 275. Let's see what the outcome of the match is.

Only if the rains allow the three matches between India and Pakistan. Heavy rains in Colombo will surely ruin this tournament when we know that all the matches are going to be played in Srilanka.

They are thinking of shifting the tournament to Dambulla or Pallekele and the chairman of the Pakistan cricket board was of the point of view that the tournament should be in UAE, to which ACC said it was too hot there, and now it is too rainy here

Afghanistan collected 197 runs after losing 5 wickets in 38 overs. Now there are two completely new batsmen Gulbadin Naib and Mohammad Nabi at the crease. Afghanistan need 138 runs from 72 balls. Afghanistan need to score around 12 runs per over to win. Bangladesh bowlers are bowling quite controlled today. If this continues, it will not be a difficult task for Bangladesh to win this match.

Bangladesh must try to stop Afghanistan within 275 runs. Bangladesh bowlers need to take the wickets of Naib and Nabi quickly. Afghanistan's innings is likely to end within 250 if these two wickets are lost. However, the match is quite enjoyable. Despite batting terribly against Sri Lanka in the first match, Bangladesh batted well in today's match.

Afghanistan have so far collected 212 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 40 overs. Bangladesh bowled well today, so far Shoriful Islam bowled well and took 3 wickets, Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 1 wicket, Hasan Mahmud took 1 wicket, Taskin Ahmed took 1 wicket. Afghanistan need 123 runs from 60 balls to win, a run rate above 12+ per over is very difficult. Today Bangladesh will win very easily.

Shifting the tournament??
I think this is a good decision maybe. We just want to see the match and if Pakistan and India both qualify for the final. Then rain also can qualify for the final. If UAE is too hot, you can also select another country for this Asia Cup.

I think the best thing is to shift the tournament to Pakistan, there is no rain and no too hot weather, Just normal weather. Also, the real country who host this Asia Cup 2023 is Pakistan but, India doesn't want to come to Pakistan.

I think India would rather want the tournament to be abandoned due to Rain than send their team to Pakistan for completing it. This has been their Stance from very start. I just saw how wierd things can get if India and Nepal match also gets abandoned due to rain and there are good chances of that happening as well.
