Afghanistan in Bangladesh 2023

Depending on how much heart the Afghans have, this could be Bangladesh’s biggest win in terms of runs.

Beating Afghanistan without Rashid isn’t that special

With or without Rashid, the Afghans aren't in the WTC, so we have no option but to beat them.

Part of the legitimacy of the WTC rests on the idea that even the lowest ranked side (Bangladesh) should be able to comfortably beat the non-WTC sides. Since starting our WTC campaign in October 2019, Bangladesh has smashed all the non-WTC sides (assuming we beat Afghanistan by 200+ runs here), with the exception of Ireland, who we only beat by 7 wickets or something like that. But there were points were we were dominating the Irish too.

546 run win in the end...3rd largest in terms of runs! I don't think I've seen a margin as big as that in terms of runs in the modern era.

Can't really expect much more given Afghanistan's last Test was 2 years ago.

Afghanistan shredded.

Nazmul Hosain Shanto is someone to keep watch on for the World Cup. Bangladesh have looked good lately. Very good.

The funny thing is, if Bangladesh played 4 spinners like we did in 2019, Afghanistan would have competed much better.
