Knowing Bangladesh, we will be losing this game unless rain saves us. Afghanistan will most likely score anywhere between 325 and 400. We will then be bundled out below 200. Afghanistan will bat again and will declare after scoring around 200. We will be bundled out scoring around 100.

What made me think so optimistic about losing this test match?

Our batsmen are not so good to face so many verities of quality spin bowlers.

The damage is already done by Afghan batsmen scoring enough runs on Day 1.

I am not sure how our batsmen will face the following bowlers:

Rashid Khan (LB) - 6 FC matches - 44 wickets @ 17.79 bowling Avg
Mohammad Nabi (OB) - 34 FC matches - 90 wickets @ 23.14 bowling Avg
Zahir Khan (SLA Chinaman) - 12 FC matches - 64 wickets @ 19.68 bowling Avg
Qais Ahmad (LB) - 11 FC matches - 67 wickets @ 20.40 bowling Avg
