AFG vs BAN 2nd ODI, Approaching Milestones and Records: The first ODI game between the Afghanistan cricket team and Bangladesh cricket team was pretty one-sided, as Afghanistan thrashed Bangladesh by a massive margin of 92 runs. They have a 1-0 lead now, and the next game between the two teams will now be held at the same venue, Sharjah Cricket Ground. The 18-year-old Allah Ghazanfar bowled a brilliant spell of 6/26, which saw a rare collapse where Bangladesh lost 8 wickets for just 23 runs.
Afghanistan have been superb in the last few series, and they are eyeing yet another series win here. They will be favorites going forward to the second game. Bangladesh have been losing consecutive series, and they are looking under the pump.
Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men need to address the issue of losing wickets in cluster, or else they will suffer another series defeat in the last few months. Afghanistan, on the other hand, will be confident heading into this clash, and fans expect a close contest. Whatever the result will be, there are some records and milestones on the line. Below, we will talk about big records and milestones which are lined up and can be achieved in the third WI vs ENG ODI in Barbados.
