The 3rd match of the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023 entails a very action-packed, lively and entertaining contest between Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Both the sides recently met at the Asia Cup 2023 and Afghanistan narrowly missed out on a historic win, amidst all drama and unprecedented action.
Bangladesh would be heavily banking on the experienced duo of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim and would be hoping to get a win in their campaign opener. Familiar conditions and a good blend of experience and youth in their squad are some of the strengths of the Bangladesh cricket team.
On the other hand, Afghanistan would be relying on their spin wizards in the form of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi. If they win the toss, they would be hoping to bowl first in Dharamshala.
In this article, we take a look at the top 3 vice-captain choices for the BAN vs AFG game in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023:
1. Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)
Spin-king Rashid Khan is one of the most crucial players of Afghanistan. He has the ability to single-handedly decimate the opposition team. Khan would be looking to carry the hopes and the expectations of the entire Afghanistan country.
Rashid Khan has 172 wickets under his belt in ODIs and is the leader of the bowling pack of the Afghans. He has played a lot of cricket in India in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and would be hoping for a positive result for his side.
2. Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh)
Playing his 5th ODI World Cup, it is safe to say that Shakib Al Hasan is one of the greatest players, ever produced by Bangladesh. The all-rounder’s understanding of the game, his batting and bowling prowess and his ability to marshal his troops, makes him an indispensable part of the Bangladesh team.
With 7384 runs in ODIs and 308 wickets, Shakib Al Hasan can be a great choice vice-captain for your fantasy team in this BAN vs AFG game at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala.
3. Litton Das (Bangladesh)
One of the most elegant and classy batters of Bangladesh, Litton Das is the backbone of the batting department of Bangladesh. He times the ball to perfection and will be key to the plans of Bangladesh in this game.
We can expect Litton Das to have a good game against Afghanistan on 7th October 2023.
