Cricket World Cup Preview & Tips Afghanistan v Bangladesh | Wednesday 03.30 (GMT)




Hands up who’s placing their alarm for this game?
Well, upset on the licences you might just want too. I’m supporting World Cup debutants Afghanistan to bounce a shock in Canberra.
At 1/4 Bangladesh are enormously overvalued by the bookies and in the only prior ODI meeting between these sides, Afghanistan won and it came in Bangladesh.
The Afghans will play every match as if their lives depend on it, as purely reaching this tournament has been a extraordinary accomplishment.
Bangladesh are relative beginners in Australian conditions and have only played competitive matches in Cairns and Darwin. Warm-up defeats to Pakistan and Ireland will also have dented confidence leading into the event.
Afghanistan, equipped with a decent pace bowling attack, consider the harder pitches Down Under will costume them more. My heart says Bangladesh, head suggests Afghanistan.
