Bangladesh in batting, Abhishek Zaker

Bangladesh's fight back in the series, Afghanistan's hopes of winning the series – this is how the second ODI of the series can be described in one sentence. Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and decided to bat in an important match in Sharjah.

Bangladesh is under pressure after losing the first ODI even from a position to win. And the Afghans are in a happy mood after winning the first match. So Rashid Khanra will start the match mentally from the front. But Bangladesh wants to turn around even under pressure. The batsmen of Bangladesh had a lot of fun to bat at night in the first ODI. In the second ODI, Shanto won the toss and chose to bat.

Bangladesh has formed eleven with three pacers and two spinners. Nasum Ahmed is with spin bowling all-rounder Mehdi Hasan Miraj. Nasum returned to the team after almost a year. The left-arm spinner played the last ODI against Australia in the World Cup last year. He joined the team after the first match due to visa complications.

Taskin Ahmed is in the pace attack with two left-handed pacers Mostafizur Rahman and Shariful Islam. They bowled brilliantly in the first ODI. Zaker Ali Aniker is making his ODI debut in place of Mushfiqur Rahim, who was sidelined with a left finger injury.

Although there have been two changes in the Bangladesh XI, the Afghans are playing with the previous XI. They have kept four recognized spinners in the XI. Two spin bowling all-rounders Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan along with Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar, Nangelia Kharote. Left-handed pacer Fazal Haq Farooqui is accompanied by two pace bowling all-rounders Azmatullah Omarzai and Gulbadin Naib.
