AFG vs BAN Live Cricket Score

1.1 OUT! Zadran draws first blood! Good effort ball from the tall pacer and he has reaped the reward. He runs in and hits the deck hard. Das is not in a good position but goes through with a half-hearted pull shot. It hasn't been timed well at all and the ball flies towards the deep square leg region. Rashid Khan stationed there takes it safely. Ideal start for the home side. 1/1

15.4 OUT! The leggie with his second of the over. Bangladesh needed Tamim Iqbal, their set batsman, to stay through the death overs, but he's gone. Poor shot to play to be honest, especially against a quality bowler like Rashid. Too full, too fast and not the occasion to bring the broom out. Tamim gets low to sweep and the ball goes right through to disturb the furniture. He falls 7 short of a fifty. 103/6

4.3 OUT! The feisty Rahman has holed out! He was backing himself to find the gap again but this time he hasn't succeeded. The bowling change has done the trick for Afghanistan. Nabi drags his length back a touch as he sees Sabbir using his feet. The right-hander goes through with an ambitious shot across the line but doesn't get a proper hold of it. Shenwari at deep mid-wicket is safe as a house. What looked like a promising start hasn't been capitalized on. 30/2

9.5 OUT! A much-needed wicket for Afghanistan. The partnership was building up, 45 to be precise and Nabi has come to the fore, second wicket for him. He watches Rahim closely as the wicket-keeper batsman comes a touch down the track. As a result, he fires it outside off. The batsman is caught in a tangle as he tries to squeeze it away but gets foxed completely. Shahzad is sharp as a hawk and takes the bails off in a flash. The square leg umpire takes it upstairs. Rahim is well short of his crease. Shahzad roars in jubilation. 75/3

12 OUT! Bowled 'em! Tried to be aggressive again and has paid the price as a result. Smart work from Janat here, he takes the pace off this one as he bowls it on a length around off. It's the off cutter which comes back in and slides right through the gap as Mahmudullah charges out and swings across the line. Crashes into the stumps and that's another wicket down for the away side. 93/4

15.1 OUT! It's like a habit for him now, picks up wickets at will it seems. Rashid Khan dismisses the Bangladesh skipper. Darts it full, Shakib attempts to clear long on but doesn't exactly get underneath it. Hits it straight down the throat of Najibullah Zadran who makes no mistake in taking it. Superb. Afghanistan on top for now. 101/5

17.5 OUT! 4-fer for Rashid Khan! On his way to a potential 5-fer. Is there no stopping this boy? Absolutely sensational bowling from the youngster. Full on the stumps, too full for the sweep shot but Sarkar still goes through with it. Hits it straight to Stanikzai at deep mid-wicket who gobbles it up. 108/8

15.5 OUT! GOT 'EM! Mosaddek came, Mosaddek saw and Mosaddek is gone - all in just one delivery. This is unbelievable bowling from the leg spinner. Rashid Khan is on a hat-trick now. Serves the googly around off, it spins back in and Mosaddek hasn't picked it up at all. Is caught flush in front of the stumps and the umpire doesn't waste any time in raising his finger. 103/7

5.4 OUT! Plumb in front! This time Hider hits his mark and reaps the dividends. He runs in from around the wicket and angles in a good length ball. Shahzad doesn't have any space to work it away and tries to block it tamely. However, he misses it and is struck on the pads. Hider roars in an appeal and the umpire obliges. The visitors need to keep picking up wickets to put pressure on the opposition. 38/1

10.3 OUT! He hasn't and Ghani is out of here. He was struggling throughout the innings, departs finally. Shortish in length and around off, Ghani swings hard, looking to slap it over covers but gets it off the splice. Lobs it towards mid off where Sarkar moves to his left and takes a good diving catch. The umpire takes it upstairs, just to make sure if Hossain overstepped or not, and replays show he hasn't. 57/2

18 OUT! Bowled 'em! Tossed up ball outside off, Shenwari tries to go big downtown but seems to have got an inside edge which has crashed into the stumps. Well, the umpire is not sure and he has a chat with his partner. It has been taken upstairs. It is not a drag on, in fact Shenwari missed it completely. A very vital breakthrough in the context of the game. Can Bangladesh win it from here? 115/4

13.4 OUT! Gone! The skipper departs without making any sort of impact. Hossain bowls this one wider outside off. Stanikzai comes down the track and tries to tonk it across the line but misses it completely. Rahim collects the ball and takes the bails off in a flash. It has been taken upstairs but the Bangladeshi players are already celebrating. The replays confirm that the batsman has failed to put his bat down in the crease. The pressure is building up. 79/3
