BAN vs AFG 2nd ODI Predictions & Betting Tips

Bangladesh and Afghanistan will cross swords in the 2nd of the three-match ODI series as a part of the 2022 Afghanistan Tour Of Bangladesh. The match will be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Friday, February 25. Ahead of the game day, I have taken the privilege of picking out the top betting tips from the BAN vs AFG match prediction.

It was a fairytale finish for the Bengal Tigers in the series opener against the Afghans. Bangladesh scripted one of their most famous and inspirational wins as they overcame Afghanistan by four wickets in the first ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday. Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan stitched together an unbroken stand of 174 for the seventh wicket to hand their side the most unlikeliest of wins. In the process, the pair broke the record of the highest 7th wicket stand for Bangladesh in ODIs. Afif was unbeaten on 93 while Hasan was there at 81 runs till the end. Bangladesh got off to a terrible start in their chase as they lost early wickets while responding to Afghanistan's total of 215. Najibullah Zadran top scored with 67 as Aghanistan posted a total of 215 on the board. Mustafizur picked three wickets for Bangladesh. For the Afghan side, Fazalhaq Farooqi dismissed four Bangaldeshi batsmen. Bangladesh last played an ODI way back in June last year against Zimbabwe and the bowling attack looked pretty much sorted for the home side with Mustafizur leading the way. As for Afghanistan, they have a power packed side with explosive options at the top and their bowling attack is among the best in the world led by none other than Rashid Khan. Considering the same, the hosts will make every effort to station their authority while the hosts will look forward to opening their books in the series. As the team's head into the second fixture of the series, take a look at the three best betting tips assembled from the BAN vs AFG head to head match.
