Preview
Afghanistan will play their first match of the ODI World Cup 2023 against Bangladesh at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on October 7, Saturday. In the year 2023, these rising powers in international cricket from Asia faced each other four times in the 50 overs format, resulting in two wins a piece for both Afghanistan and Bangladesh. A win for either of these teams could be a very important stepping stone to their ODI World Cup 2023 campaign in India in the next month or so.

Analysis
The top order of Afghanistan with players like Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rahmat Shah, and the captain Hashmatullah Shahidi are going to be tasked with the responsibility of putting decent totals on the board in a regular manner in the ODI World Cup 2023. The bowling department will rely on the experience of Rashid Khan to deliver the goods day in and day out for the Afghanistan cricket team, but he is going to require support from the likes of Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman in particular.
Meanwhile, the experience of the captain Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim will be the key for Bangladesh to make a telling difference in the ODI World Cup 2023 in the batting scheme of things, regardless of the young players stepping up for them. Talking about their bowling, Taskin Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan have been in decent form for the Bangladesh cricket team in recent times, who are expected to cause the bulk of the damage to the opposing lineups in the flagship tournament.
