AFG vs BAN Live Cricket Score

7.4 OUT! Gone! Shahzad goes for a long walk back to the pavilion. Islam flights the ball, pitches it on the off stump and makes the batsman commit a mistake. Shahzad tries to go for another reverse sweep but misses and the ball hits him on his front pad. The bowler and the keeper appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Shahzad wasn't happy with the decision and rightly so. The replays suggest that the ball hit him on his glove. No reviews in this series and an unfortunate decision comes to Bangladesh's rescue. 55/1

8.5 OUT! Jayed strikes! This is good bowling. Hits the deck hard and somewhat catches Usman Ghani by surprise, who attempts to play the pull shot. Gets it off the gloves and lobs it behind towards Mushfiqur Rahim, who collects it with glee. Good delivery, both the openers are back in the dugout now. 59/2

12.5 OUT! Going too hard, too early and pays the price. Gets a short of a length delivery and tries to hit over the mid-wicket boundary for another maximum. But the connection wasn't there and the fielder walks inside the boundary and Sabbir Rahman (sub) takes an easy catch. Afghanistan skipper is gone as they lose another wicket. 95/3

14.1 OUT! Big fish for Jayed! Nabi couldn't repeat the feat of his last match. He would consider this as a soft dismissal. Gets a full ball on the off stump and so he tries to time it over the infield. Makes good connection but the elevation wasn't there. Mahmudullah at mid off gets to his left and takes an easy catch. 101/4

18.1 OUT! Captain gets a much-needed wicket for Bangladesh. He bowls a flighted delivery on the off stump, Najibullah goes for the big one over the long on fielder but doesn't get the timing right. Mahmudullah was stationed for this precise shot as he takes an easy catch. A breakthrough for the visitors. 135/5

19.2 OUT! He gets his man this time. Similar delivery from the bowler and similar kind of shot from Shafiqullah as well. The difference is the top edge. He tries the big shot off the flighted delivery on off. Mistimes. The ball hangs in the air and Mehidy Hasan at point, steadies himself and takes the catch. Afghanistan's batsmen are falling like nine pins and they haven't scored as many as they would have liked. Good comeback from the Bangladesh bowlers. 142/6

5.5 OUT! Another huge mix-up which results in another run out. What is going on out there? Bangladesh are shooting themselves in the foot with these unnecessary things. Rahim works this down to short fine leg and Das takes off this time. Several yes and nos later, Liton is found struggling like his just-dismissed partner. Runs back, but the throw is already in from Alam to Nabi as he takes the bails off. Das is well short. 35/3

2.4 OUT! GONE! Mujeeb, the young maestro, continues to weave his magic as he dismisses the prolific Tamim Iqbal. Full around off from around the wicket, Tamim comes down the track and drives this towards the covers. Unfortunately for him, he can't keep it down and it's straight into the hands of Rasooli (sub) there. Early breakthrough for the home side. 16/1

5.2 OUT! He's gone! Huge mix-up in the middle sees Sarkar walk back to the dugout. Das swings it and off the inner half plays it down towards short fine leg. Hesitation on the run and eventually Sarkar has to rush back to his end. But, it's a little too late as Karim Janat throws it back to Nabi who takes the bails off in a flash. The replays are a mere formality here as they confirm even the dive doesn't save Soumya. A timely breakthrough for Afghanistan. 32/2

19.1 OUT! Rashid Khan strikes off the very first ball! Mushfiqur Rahim holes out. His favourite shot, the momentum on his side and it's an unfortunate dismissal for his side. Tossed up on the stumps, Rahim gets down and slog sweeps. It's flat and right towards Najibullah out at deep mid-wicket, who dives forward and takes a superb catch. 137/5

8.3 OUT! Samiullah Shenwari... Or should I say, Samiullah Rhodes? What a catch! Oh, what a catch! Unreal stuff from one of Afghanistan's best players in this series. And what a time to pull something like this off too. The Bangladesh captain is out of here. Janat bowls a slower one full in length, Shakib jumps out and tries to clear the cover area. Shenwari there moves to his right and dives full stretch as the ball sticks in his right hand. Superb stuff. Afghanistan are in the driving seat here. 53/4

20 AFGHANISTAN WIN BY 1 RUN! But what drama on the final delivery. Oh, dear me! Dear me! Shafiqullah Shafiq, you absolute beauty. Talk about a stunning effort to win your side the match. Unbelievable stuff. Fuller in length around off, Haque lofts it down towards long on. Shafiq is the man there, he moves to his left and leaps to get his hands to the ball. He still has a lot of work to do as the ball starts to travel across the rope. He moves swiftly once again, stretches low and pulls it back in. Nabi from long off comes to the ball and throws it back in towards Shahzad. He collects the ball and whips the bails off as the batsmen are coming back for the third. Mahmudullah is the batsman who's out and Afghanistan celebrate. But, they are going to have to wait a moment as the umpire wants to check if it's a boundary or not. It's taken upstairs and the replays show that Shafiq managed to do just enough to keep the ball in. Phew! 144/6
