Rishad Hossain (BAN)

Najmul Hossain Shanto (BAN)
- T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 107 Runs in 6 Matches
- The Bangladeshi skipper has been batting well in the last couple of games. Najmul Hossain Shanto will be a key to Bangladesh's performance in the match and could be one of the rewarding picks for the game.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (AFG)
- T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 238 Runs in 6 Innings
- The Afghan opener has been in fine form throughout the tournament. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has delivered with the bat in most games and has laid the foundation for their wins. Gurbaz's current form makes him one of the safest picks for the fantasy contests of the match.
Rashid Khan (AFG)
- T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 10 Wickets in 6 Matches
- The Afghan skipper did not have the best of the starts to the tournament with the ball. But in the last few games, Rashid Khan has regained his form, and especially on the Arnos Vale pitch, he will be a big threat for the Bangladeshi batters.
BAN vs AFG Differential Picks
Tanzim Hasan Sakib (BAN)
- T20 World Cup Stats: 11 Wickets in 6 Matches
- The Bangladeshi pacer has been in great form with the ball in the tournament. Tanzim Hasan Sakib could be a differential choice for the match as he can pick up wickets on this track with his variations.
Gulbadin Naib (AFG)
- T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 6 Wickets in 2 Innings
