Bangladesh have only been able to secure a victory against Hong Kong. They have lost the moment they faced a slightly tougher opposition in Sri Lanka. Their batting largely relies on Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy. In case these four don't fire, huge pressure gets piled up on Jaker Ali and Rishad Hossain to deliver. Against Sri Lanka, the top order crumbled quickly, specially against spin. With Afghanistan in-front of them, who have three world-class spinners, Bangladesh will have a tough job in terms of batting, Afghanistan, meanwhile, are not a very explosive batting side, and Bangladesh's can challenge them with their crafty pace attack.

Who Will Win BAN vs AFG Asia Cup 2025 Match?

Bangladesh are not a quality batting side. Although they can get themselves in and manoeuvre their way to par totals, they lack power hitters and they barely had the grip on the method to hit quality bowlers. Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad and Allah Ghazanfar will be a tough challenge for their batters. Bangladesh boast of a strong seam attack, but the Afghanistan batters have dealt skillfully against some quality seamers in the recent past across various leagues. In terms of firepower and the spin-attack depending on the conditions, Afghanistan have a slight upper hand and they are likely to win.
