Bangladesh are ranked seventh in the ICC ODI rankings after the second match of the BAN vs AFG ODI series 2022. The hosts have been dominating the ongoing bilateral limited-overs series with Afghanistan, and they are strong favorites to win the third match. If Bangladesh can whitewash Afghanistan in the three-match ODI series, they would boost their ODI rankings even further. Let's look at how Bangladesh could enhance its current ICC One-Day International rankings.   ICC Ranking Scenario for Bangladesh at the end of BAN vs AFG ODI Series 2022 According to the most recent update on February 26, Bangladesh remain in seventh place in the ICC One-Day International rankings, just behind Pakistan. Though both Bangladesh and Pakistan have the same 93 rating points. Pakistan earned those rating points by playing fewer matches than Bangladesh, which is why they are still ranked sixth. Read IND vs SL T20I Series 2022: India aspire clean sweep against Sri Lanka Pakistan achieved those points by playing 27 games, whilst Bangladesh had to play 32 games to get 93 rating points. However, Bangladesh would leapfrog Pakistan and move up to sixth place in the standings if they defeat Afghanistan in the third match of the ongoing limited-overs series on Monday (February 28).  If Bangladesh sweep Afghanistan in the ODI series, they will receive 94 rating points. As a result, they will move up one spot in their current ICC rankings. On the other hand, Pakistan will drop to the seventh position. Bangladesh will remain in sixth place at the end of March if they win at least one match against South Africa in the upcoming ODI series and Australia whitewash Pakistan in their away ODI series.  Read BAN vs AFG Series 2022: Bangladesh Eye Clean Sweep against Afghanistan in Final ODI However, Bangladesh will drop two rating points if they lose tomorrow's encounter against Afghanistan.

The game will begin at 11 a.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time). Read BAN vs AFG 2022: Attainable Milestones for Bangladesh Players in the Afghanistan Series

The Bangladesh national men's cricket team expects to complete a clean sweep against Afghanistan in the last match after winning the ODI series on Friday (February 25) at ZACS, Chattogram. The third match of the series will be played at the same venue on Monday and will start at 11 a.m. Bangladesh will not take the match lightly because it is part of the ICC's World Cup Super League, which awards 10 points for each victory. The third ODI preview of the BAN vs AFG 2022 series is discussed in this article. Third Match Preview of Bangladesh-Afghanistan ODI Series 2022 Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal expects his team to be more ruthless against Afghanistan in the third match after two back-to-back encouraging victories. On the other hand, the Afghanistan team will strive to restore some pride by winning the last match. Bangladesh Bangladesh team will try for a whitewash in the third match to show the rest of the cricket world that they are a better one-day international team than Afghanistan. Winning the series 3-0 will also increase their confidence ahead of next month's T20I series against Afghanistan. Besides, a valuable 30 points for the CWC Super League would improve their position in the standings. Therefore, the Bangladesh campaign will not take the final encounter of the series lightly. Read ICC WC Super League Points Table: Bangladesh Dethrone England after Series Win over Afghanistan Tamim Iqbal has done an outstanding job as captain. His decision-making and bowling changes have been superb in this series. However, Tamim Iqbal has struggled with the bat. The southpaw was out twice in a similar fashion in the first two matches. He has to improve his batting technique. Shakib Al Hasan also struggled with the bat in the first two matches. Everyone expects these two players to flourish with the bat in the last game. Apart from them, middle-order batter Yasir Ali should try to show his ability if he gets an opportunity to bat in the match.  Bangladesh team management may decide to give a couple of players their ODI debuts. Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Nasum Ahmed are two of them. Therefore, two changes are possible in the forthcoming match.  Top Two Performers of Bangladesh in BAN vs AFG ODI Series 2022 Liton Das (Batting) - Inn: 2 | Runs: 137 | HS: 136 | Ave: 68.50 | SR: 102.33 | 100s: 1 Taskin Ahmed (Bowling) - Inn: 2 | Wickets: 4 | BBI: 2/31 | Ave: 21.50 | Econ: 4.30  Read BAN vs AFG ODI Series 2022: Five Unique Records Broken in the First Match Probable Playing XI Top Order: Tamim Iqbal (Captain), Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Middle-Orders: Yasir Ali/Mahmudul Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Miraz, Lower-Order: Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam/Ebadot Hossain  Afghanistan Afghanistan's flaws were exposed in the first two games. The Afghan team's inability to map out a proper plan for the limited-overs format is one of their biggest problems. They are adept at putting up a suitable game plan for the T20 format, but they have weaknesses when it comes to developing strategy and, more importantly, executing it on the field in a 50-over encounter. Read PM congratulates Tigers on winning 2nd ODI vs Afghanistan and sealing series Afghanistan's bowling unit is its biggest strength. They have some world-class spinners on their squad, as well as a few potential pacers. However, these players must be capable of making breakthroughs when needed. On the other side, Afghan batters must improve their batting technique and tenacity. It's crucial to be able to score quickly in modern-day cricket, but the ability to play long innings is even more important. Afghanistan's batters must concentrate on forming partnerships in the middle, which would help them to win the match.   Another problem with which they should be concerned is the captaincy. Newly-appointed skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi has made some major errors in previous matches. Particularly, his bowling rotation was ineffective in the opening match. Shahidi appears to be clueless when dealing with crisis situations. Obviously, leading the team to more matches will enhance his decision-making. However, he must think outside the box in order to put pressure on the opposition batters.  Read Liton-Mushfiqur partnership ensures series win against Afghanistan Afghanistan team management should revive its squad for the third One-Day International since they cannot afford to lose another match in the series. Their prospects of finishing in the top eight in the ICC CWC Super League will be slim if they lose the final match of the series. Afghanistan may also make some changes to its playing XI.  Top Two Performers of Afghanistan in BAN vs AFG ODI Series 2022 Najibullah Zadran (Batting) - Inn: 2 | Runs: 121 | HS: 67 | Ave: 60.50 | SR: 83.44 | 50s: 2 Fazalhaq Farooqi (Bowling) - Inn: 2 | Wickets: 5 | BBI: 4/54 | Ave: 22.60 | Econ: 5.65 | 4W: 1    Probable Playing XI    Top Order: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Wicket-Keeper), Rahmat Shah, Ibrahim Zadran, Middle Orders: Hashmatullah Shahidi (Captain), Azmatullah Omarzai, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Lower Order: Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fareed Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi    Bottom Line Bangladesh will also start as favourites in the third match, considering Afghanistan's current lack of self-confidence. Afghanistan will have a mountain to climb in the final match If they were to overcome Bangladesh in this match. All the Afghani players will have to believe in themselves that they can defeat Bangladesh in the third ODI match of the BAN vs AFG 2022 ODI series.  Read Hunting small targets helps me do well: Liton

The body language of the Bangladesh team in the second match of the series was different, indicating that the amazing comeback in the first ODI had an impact on the players.

They have also surpassed England to grab the top spot in the ongoing ICC World Cup Super League points standings. The current state of the CWC Super League and the second match report are discussed in this article.  Current Scenario of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League Bangladesh have topped the CWC Super League with a total of 100 points after 14 games. Bangladesh had 80 points prior to the series, 15 points fewer than England. Bangladesh gained 20 points and climbed up to first place after winning two consecutive matches against Afghanistan.

Bangladesh hope to finish the series with a game in hand when they take on Afghanistan in the second ODI on Friday at ZACS, Chattogram. The Bangladesh campaign has soared in confidence after an amazing victory in the opening match. They will strive to carry over the euphoria of the last match in the second for an even more damaging performance. This will be a do-or-die contest for Afghanistan in order to stay alive in the series. The second ODI match preview of BAN vs AFG 2022 is discussed in this article. Bangladesh vs Afghanistan ODI Series 2022: Second Match Preview Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal should have faith in his lower middle order after a magnificent batting performance by Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the series opener. Oppositely, Afghan captain, Hashmatullah Shahidi must reflect on what went wrong in the first encounter. The game will begin at 11 a.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time). Bangladesh Bangladesh camp was skeptical of the lower middle order's potential. However, Afif and Miraz's unbroken match-winning stand in the first match has changed their opinion about the team's lower middle order capability. The Bangladesh team now believes they can rely on their young players, which is a major improvement. Read: 1st ODI: Imperious Afif, Mehidy guide Tigers to surprise victory vs Afghanistan However, the selectors will keep an eye on the players who did not do well in the first encounter. Liton Das's recent limited-overs performances have been disappointing. Yasir Ali, who made his ODI debut in the previous match, didn't last long at the crease, while Mushfiqur Rahim hasn't been in great form in international cricket.  They must improve in the second encounter. Apart from them, Bangladesh's fast bowling trio, Mustafizur, Taskin, and Shoriful performed well in the opening game. Tamim Iqbal's captaincy made a big impression.

Medium-pacer, Fazalhaq Farooqi gave Afghanistan a great start by taking four wickets in his first stint. However, he was underutilized when he was required. Shahidi should have brought Farooqi into action when Afif Hossain and Mehidy Miraz were forming a partnership. Hashmatullah Shahidi's bowling rotation of Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman was not very effective. Afghanistan's captaincy must improve in the second match of the BAN vs AFG 2022 ODI series.

As a result, a full-strength Bangladesh team will face the national team of Afghanistan in this series. Tamim Iqbal will be crucial for Bangladesh in the top order. He is the team's main anchor player in batting. Tamim must stay till the very end in order to achieve a competitive total. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan will also help to bolster up the middle order. Read: BAN vs AFG T20I Series 2022: Bangladesh Squad Announced for Afghanistan Series The left-arm pacer, Mustafizur Rahman is a key player in this condition in the bowling department. Mustafiz's accuracy as a bowler and his ability to deliver cutter in the death overs might pose a serious threat to Afghanistan's batting.

Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Qais Ahmed are among the batters that might offer a serious challenge to Bangladesh's batting lineup. The biggest issue for Bangladesh will be if the batters fail to figure out how to cope with Afghanistan's slower bowlers. On the other hand, Afghanistan would want to use their spinners to put pressure on Bangladesh’s batters. Read: BAN vs AFG 2022: Attainable Milestones for Bangladesh Players in the Afghanistan Series Afghanistan appear to have a very powerful bowling unit. However, they can't win matches based only on the quality of their bowlers. Batters will be required to contribute as well. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rahmat Shah will have to shoulder most of the responsibility for a strong start in the top order.

These players have already represented Bangladesh at the international level, but have yet to participate in a limited-overs match. Therefore, it will be intriguing to see how big of an impact they can make if they have an opportunity to play in the series against Afghanistan. Ebadot was picked as a backup pacer for Taskin Ahmed since the selectors did not include experienced Rubel Hossain for the series. Nasum Ahmed was included in place of Taijul Islam. Nasum has been in excellent form over the last year, so his selection seemed logical. Mohammad Mithun was replaced by an in-form hard-hitter Yasir Ali.
