After losing the toss and being sent into bat, they were well placed with eight overs remaining when rain intervened – targeting 244 with Nahid Rana making his debut bowl with an excellent opening spell; unfortunately however, missed opportunities such as dropped catch on Gurbaz led them down an expensive path that ultimately cost them their game.

Head-to-Head

Afghanistan won their opening ODI by 92 runs thanks to Allah Ghazanfar’s six-wicket haul and secured yet another Super Eights round win with their dominant performance in match two.

Afghanistan scored an impressive first-innings total of 236/6 with their bat, but later struggled to meet their required target of 283.

Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi were standout performers for the hosts, amassing 104 from just 78 balls between them to help ease pressure during an otherwise trying time. Nahid Rana and Mustafizur Rahman provided valuable support by taking two wickets each.

Bangladesh opened their reply with an aggressive approach and attempted to accelerate quickly, taking three early wickets that gave them hope of winning the match. But spinners ultimately prevailed to limit runs and keep Afghanistan at bay.

Due to rain delays, this match has been postponed nearly an hour and it will be fascinating to witness how the pitch plays during its final stages. So far in this tournament, Saint Vincent weather conditions have produced low-scoring thrillers – maybe another could follow suit here.

Rashid Khan was delighted with the outcome of the game and describes it as a very special day for his team. He remarks on their journey and says they believed in themselves along the way; adding that it’s been very emotional for them as they believed they could achieve victory.

Litton Das reaches his half-century in just 41 deliveries with a stunning sweep over midwicket. While going for something big again, one slower ball sneaks through and crashes into his stumps causing another review – only for it to be dismissed because UltraEdge demonstrated no nick present.
