Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Test: Dream11 prediction, Playing 11, Weather Forecast and Pitch Report

The only Test will be a massive examination for both teams as this has been their weakest format across the game. Although Afghanistan are new to red-ball cricket, Bangladesh have failed to emerge as a Test powerhouse despite being in the format for a long time. They would be keen to emulate their ODI resurgence in this format as well.

Venue: Sher e Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka (Bangladesh)

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Test Pitch Report

The Sher e Bangla Stadium has the reputation of being a decent deck. This has often produced decent matches and although batters may enjoy in the first two days, the pitch tends to break down from day 3 onwards.

There is a tinge of grass in it but it looks destined to be a slow pitch with uneven bounce. So winning the toss and batting would be the apt decision for either captain.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Test Weather Forecast

The Dhaka weather for the next 5 days can be an issue. There is a rain forecast for all the five days with a 70 % chance of rain in the last three days of the Test. The temperature will be at around 35° C in the daytime and will cool down to around 27° C at night.

But rain can play a spoilsport in this match. We may see delayed starts and rain-related abruption in the match.
