Asia Cup 2018 - Group B Analysis

Afghanistan

Afghanistan

In March, Afghanistan qualified for next year's World Cup in England in one of the most dramatic ways you would ever see. They won all their limited-overs campaigns against Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, and Ireland. They even made their first test appearance. They will look to add more to an already glorious year.

In Rashid, nabi and Mujeeb, they had one of the best spin departments in the tournament. Afghanistan's batting looks bit bleak and their fortunes mostly lie in the hands of this trio. With renowned history to create upsets in major tournaments, they can fancy their chances of qualifying for the next stage.
