0.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Taskin Ahmed draws the first blood for Taskin Ahmed. Bowls a sharp short ball around the off-stump line. Gurbaz looks to pull this one but gets late on this as the ball goes aerial toward the short cover region and Taskin Ahmed runs around to take the catch off his own bowling. This is also the 50th wicket in T20Is for Taskin Ahmed. Top Stuff! 9/1

2.4 OUT! EDGED and TAKEN! Taskin Ahmed picks the second and both the openers are back in the hut. Hard length delivery, angling across just outside off. Zazai looks to run this down to the third man region but it zips off the surface and takes an edge through to the Litton Das behind the stumps. Afghanistan have lost two in quick time and are in some trouble. 16/2

10.1 OUT! In the air and taken! Shakib Al Hasan strikes! Tossed up at the stumps. Ibrahim Zadran gets on one knee and looks to hit this out of the park. He gets the height but not the distance as the ball goes toward the long-on region. Afif Hossain settles underneath it and takes a fine catch. Zadran walks back for 22 as Afghanistan loses their fourth. 62/4

9.1 OUT! Edged and Caught! Nabi is gone this time. He got a couple of reprieves but has to walk back now. Good length delivery, just outside off. Nabi looks to heave this through the on-side but gets an inside edge to the keeper Das who pouches an easy chance. 48/3

11 OUT! Bowled'em! Najibullah Zadran is stunned! Flatter and quicker, angled in, at the stumps. Zadran looks to pull this across the line and misses it completely. The ball clatters into the stumps and the crowd erupts in joy. Shakib Al Hasan gets his second as Afghanistan lose half their side now. 67/5

15.5 OUT! Caught at third man. Mustafizur Rahman has aced this battle and inevitably he comes out on top here. Azmatullah Omarzai's good knock comes to an end. It is a full-length ball, outside off. Azmatullah Omarzai throws the kitchen sink at it. The ball flies off the outside edge towards third man where Shamim Hossain takes an easy catch. Rashid Khan is the new batter at the crease. 109/6

16.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Another man bites the dust. Afghanistan lose their seventh wicket. For once, Karim Janat gets bat on ball, but only to find the fielder. A short ball, on off. Janat smacks it hard towards long on, but does not get the desired distance on it. Najmul Hossain Shanto settles under it and takes a sharp catch. Mujeeb Ur Rahman is out at the crease now. 109/7

9.1 OUT! CAUGHT! WOW! WHAT A CATCH! Afghanistan needed something special to get back in this game and Rashid Khan, the skipper, takes a one-handed stunner to get rid of Litton Das. Mujeeb Ur Rahman draws the first blood here. It is tossed up, full and outside off. Litton Das is drawn into it and goes for the booming drive. He hits it well, but Rashid Khan comes up with a moment of inspiration, as he moves to his right, jumpes that side and gathers it in his right-hand. 67/1

9.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Mujeeb Ur Rahman picks up his second wicket in a jiffy. The crowd has gone mute now. Is there a twist in the tale? Who would've thought. It is a full delivery, in the slot as well, Afif Hossain's eyes lit-up. He tries to go for the slog sweep but could not get the distance on it. Karim Janat settles under it and takes a sharp catch to put his side back in the contest. Towhid Hridoy is the new man at the crease. 68/2

11 OUT! TIMBER! Afghanistan are certainly back in this game. Azmatullah Omarzai with a wonderful delivery to get rid of Shanto. A yorker, right on the money. Shanto looks to swing it across the line but misses only to see the ball crash into the sticks. Shakib Al Hasan now comes out to bat. Can the Bangladesh skipper get the job done? 76/3

14.3 OUT! Azmatullah Omarzai replies with a wicket. Back of a length delivery on the middle and leg. Hridoy advances and looks to go over the mid-off region. He hits it from the cue end and gifts a simple catch to Nabi. Omarzai is pumped and does a send-off to Hridoy. 107/4
