Pretty exciting to see BD host an associate nation. On the one hand, I hope they thrash Afghanistan and send a strong message that they are a cut above the other associates. On the other hand, you do kinda want to see Afghanistan do well.

Should be fun to watch.

If Bangladesh lose I suspect that will be more down to the Afghans playing well than the Banglas doing badly - they may still lack a bit of strength in depth but the Afghans have several men capable of turning a game and when a team has that they can beat anyone - just ask the WIndies T20 side

Wow, averaging over 70 at FC cricket. I know Bangladesh cricket is of a questionable quality and pitches there have been pretty flat lately but that suggests a lot of talent.

BD needs to step up the gas now. Weather getting very gloomy and the situation os fairly safe to push the run rate just in case if game gets curtailed

BD's finishing still leaves a lot to be desired. Shabbir can't carry the big-hitting burdens on his own.

Yeah should have aimed for 280+ after getting through most of the spin overs for three down. Mushfiqur should be disappointed, bloke has played enough to be better than that at home.

0 boundaries from numbers 6,7 and 8 in the order

Reckon BD can still defend this. Better sides have struggled to chase less. No Fizzy, but Taskin/Rubel/Mortaza are a still decent seam attack, and Taijul can do a job. And ofc, there is Shakib.

Still you would expect 265 to be enough. Means Afhanistan won't be able to have any time with the bowling side on top on a slow pitch, and I expect the Bangladesh spinners won't just get launched over the ropes like they could do against a top level batting order.
