18.1 to Towhid Hridoy, Fuller length ball in the slot outside off, goes deep inside the crease, does not get quite hold of it, whacks it flat with the toe end of the bat towards deep extra cover. The fielder comes around and completes the catch with ease.. 139/5

6.4 to Saif Hassan, Cleaned him up! Tossed up length ball kept a bit low on the off stump line, gets down on one knee and plays his favorite slog sweep, misses the line of the ball, wrong-un delivery, and breaks the stumps.. 63/1
15.3 to Shamim Hossain, massive appeal and given! Fuller length flighted on the stumps, Shamim leans forward and plays across the line of the ball, misses the straight delivery and thuds the bottom of the front pad. Shamim reviews it straightaway. Was there any bat involved? Nah, Ultra Edge confirmed a flat line as the ball passes the bat. Pitching in line, impact in line, and hitting the middle-off stump. It was a googly ball. Bangladesh lost their first review.. 121/4

10.1 to Litton Das, tossed up fuller length ball on the stumps, plays the paddle sweep and does not connect, massive shout from Noor but the umpire is not interested. Rashid sends it upstairs for another check. Did it pitch in line? Yes, it has! Three reds and hitting the middle stump. A massive wicket, and an excellent review taken by Rashid Khan!. 87/2
12.5 to Tanzid Hasan, Noor Ahmad strikes again! Looped up a fuller length ball in the slot, backs away and plays with the straight bat, lofts it straight in the air and struck it straight off long off. This time, he mistimes the slog stroke, Ibrahim Zadran comes around and gobbles it up comfortably in long off.. 104/3

0.1 to Sediqullah Atal, Trapped in front and given! Generously flighted good length ball on the stumps, the ball skids on as Atal plays across the line off the back foot, hits the back pad in front of the stumps, misses the straight delivery and is plumb. Atal departs for a golden duck!. 0/1
4.1 to Ibrahim Zadran, Nasum strikes again! Good length ball flighted and angling in on the stumps from around the wicket, plays off the front foot and misses the line of the ball, hits the back pad in front of the leg stump. Massive appeal and the finger goes up! Ibrahim reviews it straightaway. Flat line as the ball passes the bat, pitching outside off and impact in line. The ball is just clipping the side of the leg stump; umpire's call!. 18/2

15.4 to Azmatullah Omarzai, Catch it is the cry and taken! Pace off hard length ball around the fifth stump line, 114 kph, Omarzai throws his bat at it early, tries to heave it away and connects the toe end of the bat, skies it high towards backward point. The ring fielder, Saif Hassan, settles underneath and completes the catch. Massive wicket for Bangladesh!. 109/6
19.6 to Noor Ahmad, Long off settles underneath and gobbles it up! What a time for Bangladesh to get their first-ever T20I win against Afghanistan overseas! The victory keeps their hopes alive in the Asia Cup and blows Group B wide open for a spot in the Super Fours. Pace off delivery does the trick, again. Noor clears the front leg and whacks it with the toe end of the bat towards long off, fielder comes around and completes the catch.. 146/10
402837.00123100
12.6 to Mohammad Nabi, Chops on! Dot balls were piling up for Nabi, tries to be cheeky and plays the length ball late, cramped for space, thick inside edge and drags on to the leg stump. Clever stuff from Fizz!. 77/5
18.2 to Rashid Khan, Chips it straight to Taskin! Full and overpitched ball pitching wide outside off, Rashid hangs back and tries to slice it over short third, did not get enough pace to work on it, pace off the ball and glides it straight to Taskin at short third man.. 132/8
18.3 to AM Ghazanfar, Edged and taken! Hard length pace on delivery on the probing channel, stands tall inside the crease and tries to punch it square, thick outside edge and a straightforward catch for LKD behind the stumps.. 132/9

8.3 to Gulbadin Naib, Caught and bowled! Generously flighted fuller length ball around the fifth stump line, leans forward and tries to play it down the wrong line, connects the leading edge as he closes the face of the bat, gifted his wicket away to Rishad. A regulation catch for the bowler and Afghanistan lose their third wicket.. 51/3
10.2 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Massive wicket! Fuller length ball in the slot, it was there to be hit. Gurbaz gets down on one knee and plays the paddle sweep, slight turn, and deceives the batter as he fails to keep the ball in the ground, finds the deep backward square leg fielder near the ropes.. 62/4
