Shanto s fine for ODI. Tanzid need to take a hike. He got enough chances for ODI. He should just stick to T20 for now.

Tanzid has been getting chances in ODI since 2023. He played some good T20 innings but is yet to do well in ODI format.

Tanzid should be dropped from ODI. I agree.
 
AFG - 80/2 (20 overs; target: 222).

142 to win from 30 overs.

Pitch seems sluggish. So, if BD can get a few more quick wickets, things can get interesting. Gurbaz is the key wicket now.
 
Afghanistan is a better ODI side as it doesn't punish dot balls. Looking st the scorecard dare I day they had so many dot balls which is okay in one layers in small chases.

BD needed 30 more runs, but anyway won't mind Afghanistan winning 1 or 2 games.

Yes. I think 250 would've been great here.

Anyway, they can still win this. Need to get some quick wickets. Need some tight overs.

AFG - 148/4 (36 overs; target: 222).

74 to win from 84 balls.
 
BD captain is doing his bets to lose from here.
Good bowling like up would have tested them with short pitches 140 kph with slower bouncers

220 was a shocking score on a decent wicket. 270 or something is the average score here last 5 years. Needed minimum 260. ODI team is full of technically khet batters!

To be fair, they are playing ODI after a very long time (possibly over 6 months).

They may need a bit of time to adjust.

Anyway, need to score much better in the remaining 2 games. 260-270 is needed on this pitch.
 
Afghanistan surged ahead BD in longer format as the ranking reflects. Afghanistan batsmen are slightly better technically. Among the nations they play short ball better
 
Afghanistan win the first ODI match. 2 to go. BD needs to up their game in ODI’s, lacklustre batting in this format has to change. 2025 BD has played 6 ODI’s so far and batted the whole 50overs only once!

Yes in ODIs. BD is going through some transition in ODIs now. In Test, we can beat them with our fast bowlers now.

Khet batting coach like you said lol

Bro am telling you, we all can see this now. This local coach is utter rubbish, he hasn’t improved the techniques of any batters. He rose to fame by claiming to have helped Shakib and Tamim early on in their career. So, after Shakih and Tamim become more popular, he indirectly took the credit.

Afghanistan batting is more suitable for ODI cricket so I'm expecting better performance from Afghanistan in ODI series compared to T20 SERIES .

As i said earlier Afghanistan batting is more suitable for ODI cricket , predictable result for Afghanistan. They will likely to win the series against most of Asian team's barring India.

:kp
 
Afghanistan played terrible cricket in the T20s and handed BD some easy wins. Good to see they perform better in ODI.

BD has a nice bunch of fast bowlers. They are all very decent.

Agree.

I hate to say this but I think ICC should scrap ODI. Just keep Test and T20. It can also reduce workloads for players.

ODI doesn't feel fun anymore.

Odd days - T20 cricket is not real cricket but ODI and test

Even day - ICC should scrap ODI cricket just because minnow Bangladesh has lost the match.

Peak hypocrisy.

All formats are important, and the ODI World Cup is still the pinnacle of cricket. I don't know why people are mixing formats, when each format offers different challenges.

Dot balls are their biggest weakness. In T20 you cannot afford that. They have big hitters. Good technique. That is not enough in T20. Until they fix that they will continue struggling in T20
 
Tbh I am starting to lose interest in ODI’s in general. Not because BD are not doing well. Its like the inbetween format. one of odi or test has to go but they wont get rid of test as its the so called ultimate test of cricketers character and what not. T20 is the future and I enjoy International T20s, so many close matches, great drama, always on the edge, great entertainment.

So ODI has to get the chop, I guess. It used to be my favourite format in the 2010s out of the three.

Afghanistan is the second best Asian team in ODIs and tests

Their problem is tempo in T20. Not lack of skills. They can hit fours, sies. Honestly they will want to be a better ODI/Test team. THeir best is semi final which they already achieved. Afghanistan cannot really go any further than that. Both teams are poor


On neutral/away venues

Afghanistan vs SENA teams 10 matches 2 won 8 lost
Bangladesh vs SENA team 27 matches 1 won 25 lost 1 NR

Yes.

Same here.

I think ICC should keep Test and T20. Dump ODI. It is now an obsolete format.
