Check out our top fantasy picks, player availability news, pitch report, and predicted playing XIs & more.
Bangladesh are overwhelming favourites in the 1st ODI as they have been a dominant juggernaut in home conditions. They had defeated India 2-1 in December 2022 and it was a special victory for the hosts.
The last time Bangladesh and Afghanistan locked horns with each other in a 3-match ODI series in 2022, the former had won 2-1. Tamim Iqbal and co. would be pretty confident ahead of this sojourn of theirs.
