Bangladesh vs Afghanistan FREE Live Streaming, Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 3: Bangladesh is all set to cross swords with Afghanistan in their World Cup opener on Saturday, October 7. The match will be played at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh.

Bangladesh Squad: Strengths and Weaknesses

Bangladesh has been a competitive side in white ball formats, but for a team that has just witnessed a face-off between two of its biggest players - skipper Shakib al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal -- it will need to do more than just being competitive. Apart from that, injuries to some of their players are also not helping the team, which has had an inconsistent year so far in ODIs, losing nine matches, winning eight, while three ended in no result. However, there is no dearth of experience and talent in the Bangladesh team as Shakib, fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman, wicketkeeper batsmen Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das, and all-rounder Mahmudullah have enough skill and ability to change the course of the match. Also, there are younger players like Najmul Shanto, their highest scorer this year with 698 runs, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, and Towhid Hridoy, who bring some vibrancy and balance to the squad, which is so important in a tournament of this magnitude.

Afghanistan Squad: Strengths and Weaknesses

Afghanistan, on the other hand, has progressed as a cricket nation since gaining full membership in the ICC in 2017. The team, under the leadership of Hashmatullah Shahidi, has a strong spin department in the form of experienced Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Noor Ahmad. The Afghans will also rely on former captain Nabi, a veteran of 147 ODIs, to showcase his all-round skills, while 22-year-old Mujeeb is expected to take the responsibility with the new ball. The team has a good batting line-up, but it needs to remain consistent, something it has not been able to do in the past.
