Afghanis put a scare into India a week ago during warm-ups; but otherwise are an unknown quantity in their first 50 over world cup appearance.

Other than their captain, Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh's squad lacks experience playing in the high-scoring conditions down under.

Afghanistan's CWC15 team has experience playing in Australia up and down their lineup. Including their 18 year old wunderkind, Usman Ghani. Who led the squad in runs during their recent through Australia in preparation for the world cup.

Wagers, ranked from most to least confident:



- Most Runs 1st 15 Overs Afghanistan +155
-- Afghanistan's opening bowlers frustrated India (before India broke out and trounced the Afghanis)

-Afghanistan +325 to win the match
-- Tigers fancy themselves among the elite in international cricket and likely will be looking forward to taking on NZ/Aus/SA and not taking
a difficult, inspired, experienced in Australia Afghani team serious as they should It's a minor miracle Afghanistan's in this thing--not due to play, but politics.

-Shakib Al Hasan 9/2 (Top Bangladesh Batsman)
--only Tiger on the team with significant / any experience playing in Australia.

--Usman Ghani 7/2 (Top Afghani Batman)
--18 year wunderkind who led the team in runs in their Australia warm ups. When ESPN does a 30 for 30 about the Afghanistan #CWC15 team, he'll likely still be playing for Afghanistan.

Looks you cashed on the first two.
