They appeared to be on course at 17 for 2 in 5 over. shakib scored 32 runs but kept on losing wickets from then on.

Afghanistan trio Mujeeb, naib and Rashid took 2 wickets each.

earlier, Shahidi and Rashed made 95 runs partnership in last 9 overs in a late flourish to put the competitive total on the board. Afghanistan lost their way in the middle overs thanks to some tight bowling by the Bangladesh spinners. Shakib took 4 wickets.

All-rounder performance from Rashid khan hurts Bangladesh and they were not in good condition at any point of time after 41st over, Rashid and naib and naib took the game away from them after 41 st over. The Bangladeshi pacers led by Rubel Hossain took a hammering as they missed their Yorkers and were tonked around the park at will by the Afghan batsmen.

Bangladesh will face India on 21st September to keep the series alive.

Rashid Khan became the man of the match.
