Bangladesh take on Afghanistan in the second ODI with an aim to make it 1-1 in the three-match series. The visitors beat the Tigers in the first ODI on July 5. Tamim Iqbal, a day later, decided to take retirement from all forms of the game to shock his country and the cricketing world. However, on Friday, on request of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Tamim reversed his decision to call it quits. Before that happened, Bangladesh Cricket had named Litton Das the captain for the ODIs. With Tamim back to playing cricket again, it will be interesting to see who leads the team out when the 2nd ODI starts.
Bangladesh need to watch out for some Afghanistan bowlers in the 2nd ODI. After putting up just 169 in the first ODI, the hosts are expected to raise their performance with the bat. They must play Fazalhaq Farooqi and Rashid Khan cautiously. Mujeeb Ur Rahman too could be a threatening bowler for Tigers. Three of them picked 7 wickets together in the 2nd ODI. While batting remains a concern for Bangladesh, bowling will be heavily dependent on the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Taskin Ahmed. Tamim, returning from retirement, must look to make a statement with the bat in his comeback match.
