TEAMS PREVIEW
Afghanistan Preview
Afghanistan struggled in the opening T20I as Bangladesh hunted down 152 with ease, reaching the target in 18.4 overs while losing only six wickets. The top order collapsed to 40 for 4 before Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s 40 off 31 balls and Mohammad Nabi’s 38 from 25 saved them from a far lower score. Without those two efforts, the margin could have been much heavier.
The batting will need more stability if they want to square the series. Ibrahim Zadran has been their most dependable batter in 2025, producing 239 runs across nine innings at 26.55 with a strike rate of 120. Gurbaz has also played a role in giving them starts, often reaching the 30-run mark, as he did in the first match.
Darwish Rasooli and Mohammad Ishaq have contributed in the middle order, while Nabi has handled the finishing stages with authority. His recent form suggests he is capable of another 30-plus score at the back end of the innings.
Rashid Khan is their most dangerous bowler. He showed his value again in the opener with 4 for 18 in four overs. Noor Ahmad and Fareed Ahmad Malik add further wicket-taking options, and Nabi adds another spin angle to support them.

Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh put in a tidy performance in the opening T20I, first limiting Afghanistan to 151 before calmly crossing the line in the chase.
Openers Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Parvez Hossain Emon struck fluent half-centuries to set things up, allowing the rest of the batting unit to play with freedom. At number three stands Saif Hassan, who top-scored for the side in the Asia Cup with 178 runs across four outings at a strike rate of 128.
The middle order has depth too, with Jaker Ali and Nurul Hasan handling the tempo, while Shamim Hossain adds more stability.
Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman are the mainstays of the pace attack. Taskin has found a good rhythm this year, while Mustafizur thrived in the Asia Cup with nine wickets at an economy of 7.43. His cutters and slower balls often prove hard to line up in the final overs.
Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Rishad Hossain round out the attack as genuine wicket options. They combined for four wickets in the first game and can tilt the contest Bangladesh’s way once again if the pitch offers some help.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Sharjah usually tests batters in the opening overs under evening conditions. The track is on the slower side and bounce can be low, creating chances for mistimed strokes. Once the ball softens, the shorter boundaries come into play and clearing the fence becomes easier, though footwork will remain important. Spinners who use flight and cutters should find conditions to their liking.
Conditions point to a dry, humid night, with clear skies and no threat of rain.

The average score batting first at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is 157. The team batting first here will look to target a score between 160-170 to give themselves a great chance for victory.
Toss: To Bowl
Toss could matter: batting second has been beneficial in Sharjah of late, as we saw in the first game too.
AFG vs BAN
Winning Prediction
Bangladesh were clinical in the first T20I while Afghanistan looked out of sorts. Current form is with Bangladesh as they have performed well in the format over the last couple of months. Afghanistan, meanwhile, have been scratchy and have now lost four of their last five T20Is. Their batters have let them down, and unless they step up properly here, we expect Bangladesh to dominate again.
Back Bangladesh as the winners of this match.
