Sports Desk: Shantabahini is entering the field in the afternoon in the fight to save the series. The match will start at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday (November 9) at 4 pm. Bangladesh cannot get out of the circle of failure. After losing seven international matches in a row, the quiet army could not turn around even against Afghanistan. The three-match ODI series started with a disappointing loss.

Bangladesh lost the first ODI of the three-match series in Sharjah on Wednesday (November 6) by 92 runs. Why he lost the first match is still being debated. Bangladesh had great control in the bowling and early batting of the match. But suddenly Bangladesh got confused by a storm. And the name of that storm is Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar. Bangladesh lost the last 8 wickets to add just 23 runs to their spin. The bitter experience of losing in the first match was discussed within the team as well. But the Bangladesh team wants to forget that memory now. Tigers want to enter the field today with the aim of returning to the series. According to the team's vice-captain Mehdi Hasan Miraj, losing one match is not the end. They have shown their ability by taking examples of previous results.

In a press conference in Sharjah, Miraz said, 'You see, we have won a lot with Afghanistan before. I won the ODI in the first match, in the World Cup. Then we won the T20 on the soil of the country, before that we won the series on the soil of Bangladesh. It's not like we lose a match to them and we're all gone. Nothing like that.'

According to Mirage, no team is small in international cricket. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto and himself are responsible for the defeat in the first ODI from a convenient position.

Miraj said, 'Every team in international cricket is of good quality. You can never underestimate a team. So a match that we've been trying to do has been bad for us, maybe the wicket hasn't treated us the way we'd hoped. I am saying that we who were batters, set batters should have taken the responsibility. I'm calmer, that's what I've always said.'


The change in the Bangladesh XI in the second match is certain. Because, Mushfiqur Rahim was knocked out of this series due to finger injury. Another wicket-keeper batsman Liton Das is also absent from the squad. As a result, a wicket-keeper batsman will be added to the eleven.

Young Zaker Ali Anik is ahead of that list. Because, this right-handed batsman has proved himself several times in the middle order in Tests and T20Is. So if everything goes well, Zaker Ali is going to make his ODI debut with this match.

On the other hand, spinner Nasum Ahmed and pacer Nahid Rana joined the team before the second match after overcoming visa complications. Although the pacers did well in the first match, the spinners could not give their best. So Rishad Hossain can lose his place even if Mirage is autochoice.

Nasum Ahmed can get a place in the XI instead of him . Because Afghanistan has several right-handed batsmen. Where Nasum can bring additional benefits to the team.

Without these two places, there is no possibility of change in the XI. Young opener Tanjid Tamim failed in the first match, but he will get a second chance. Then Soumya Sarkar, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Mahmudullah Riyad autochoice to bat.

And it can be said for sure that the three pacers, Taskin Ahmed, Mostafizur Rahman and Shariful Islam, who took nine wickets in the first match, will be in the XI.

Bangladesh Probable XI for Second ODI:

Tanjid Hasan Tamim, Nazmul Hossain Shanto (Captain), Soumya Sarkar, Tawheed Hriday, Zaker Ali (Wicketkeeper), Mahmudullah Riyad, Mehdi Hasan Miraj (Vice-Captain), Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Mostafizur Rahman, Shariful Islam.
