Bet on Afghanistan Cricket Team This ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022

Afghanistan Cricket team made its debut in the 2015 Cricket World Cup. Afghanistan qualified for the ICC World Cup Qualifier 2018 and defeated West Indies in the qualifier finals. The 2019 World Cup was the 2nd World Cup for which Afghanistan qualified under the captaincy of Asgar Afghan. Team Afghanistan will play their first match on 22 October 2022 against England under the captainship of Rashid Khan.

The Afghanistan Cricket team is placed in Group 1 in the Super 12 stage, and performing teams, England, Australia, New Zealand, and the other two teams, will qualify from Round 1. This will be the 6th appearance for the Afghan team in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, hosted in Australia.

While our betting prediction says that the Afghanistan Cricket team players lack the possibility of outshining the champion teams due to their weak performance in the previous edition. However, on the other side, with the new squad in place, and a new captain, things may work in their favor in the 8th edition of the .

Probable Afghanistan Cricket Team Players For The T20 Men’s World Cup 2022 Tournament

The Afghanistan T20 squad is coming to Australia, and they’re all charged up to claim the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup! Predicted hard hitters in the T20 format, Hazratullah Zazai, Asgar Afghan, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, are expected to be the openers for the Afghanistan team in the World Cup T20. While the team lacks pace attacks, Captain Rashid Khan must rely on medium pacers and mainstream bowlers Qais Ahmed and Shapoor Zardan.

Full-time spinners Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman should put their best bowl forward. Team Afghanistan does hold the capabilities to face the odds, but due to the lack of experience, we are skeptical of them being a ‘hot contender’ for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

Nonetheless, if you’re an ardent fan of the all-rounder and Captain, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Nabi, and the squad, cheer for the team and place your T20 World Cup bets on Fun88!

Betting Odds For Afghanistan Cricket Team

With its 10th position in the ICC T20I ranking, Fun88 predicts the odds to be 34.00. The chances of the predicted Afghanistan Cricket team winning the Cup are slim, to say the least. However, if their batting line up can create a consistent performance in the Australian pitch ground conditions, and they can score decent totals, the Afghanistan T20 World Cup betting would become active grounds for bettors to punt on.

Watch out for Rashid Khan, known for his unorthodox shots, and a ‘can do’ spirit on the field. The most popular player for T20 bettors, Rashid is a player to put your money on. The next off-spinning all-rounder, Mohammed Nabi has earned his fair share of popularity. He’s known to keep a tight lid on run-scorers and has curbed many middle-order batsmen to take a big swing. Nabi will lead from the front and be an inspiration to the other team lads. If Nabi picks up good wickets, it could well mean that Afghanistan betting odds don’t get a hit.
