BAN vs AFG Dream11, 1st T20: Check Top Fantasy Picks, Playing XIs & Pitch Report

BAN vs AFG Dream11, 1st T20: Following the conclusion of the ODI series in Chattogram, Bangladesh and Afghanistan are set to engage in a two-match T20I series. The series commences on Friday, July 14, 2023, at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, followed by the second T20I on Saturday, July 16, 2023, at the same venue. Both matches are scheduled to begin at 6 pm.

While there is a noticeable gap in strength and experience between the two teams in ODIs, the T20I format demands that Bangladesh takes Afghanistan seriously for several reasons. In this format, the teams are relatively evenly matched in terms of strength, experience, and past success on the field. Therefore, Afghanistan should not be underestimated.

For Bangladesh, this T20I series marks their return to the format since their last match in March when they clinched a 2-1 home series victory against Ireland. Similarly, this series holds significance for Afghanistan as it serves as their first assignment following their impressive 2-1 series triumph against Pakistan in the UAE back in March.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium has proven to be challenging for batsmen, with difficult conditions to bat on. The track is slow, favoring spinners who will enjoy bowling on it. As the match progresses, the pitch becomes slower, and the low bounce adds to the difficulty for stroke players.
