Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in the third match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Saturday at 10:30 AM local time. Let us look at Ban vs AFG Dream11 prediction, preview and probable playing 11.
Bangladesh led by the number one all-rounder in ODI’s Shakib Al Hasan will hope to start their campaign on a winning note after losing their warm-up match against England and a series loss against New Zealand at home. After a first-round exit in the recently concluded Asia Cup, Afghanistan looked in good touch in the warm-up game against Sri Lanka. Afghanistan’s batting will be under the scanner against a young and fiery pace attack of Bangladesh that troubled both England and Sri Lanka in the warm-up games.
Afghanistan has had the upper hand over Bangladesh in the last five head-to-head encounters winning three matches, while the Bangla Tigers won the last two games against Afghanistan.
BAN vs AFG Pitch Report
The pitch at the H.P.C.A Stadium in Dharamsala is a bowler-friendly track that offers assistance to seamers and fast bowlers, unlike the usual tracks in India. The stadium lies at a high altitude of 1317 metres above sea level and the small open stands allow the wind to sweep across which helps the fast bowlers get some movement in the air. It is going to be a day game and the surface is expected to remain the same throughout the game.

We think it’s ideal to place a bet after the toss and go with the team that wins the toss. This is because the team that wins the toss has an advantage in terms of field position and batting order. However, this does not guarantee success, as there are other factors to consider such as weather conditions, pitch conditions and team form. Therefore it’s also important to look at these variables before placing a bet on these equal teams.
