AFG vs BAN Live Cricket Score

16 OUT! PLUMB! Floated on off, Gurbaz prods in front to block this out but the ball comes in with the arm and beats the batter on the inside. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is hit on the front pad and a confident appeal brings curtains to his innings with the umpire raising his finger. Gurbaz, after some discussion with Ibrahim, sends this upstairs, more in hope. Nothing on the UltraEdge and three reds on the Ball Tracker confirm that the ball would have gone on and hit middle and leg. The on-field decision of OUT stays. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has to walk back after a steady start. 99/1

36.5 OUT! IBRAHIM ZADRAN IS RUN OUT! Nervous 90s strike again as Ibrahim Zadran, just like the last game, gets out on 95. Fired on the pads, Ibrahim Zadran looks to punch this down the track but gets it edged off the inside, rolling towards the short fine leg fielder's left. Ibrahim Zadran sets off for a single but is sent back and rightly so by his partner at the other end. Nahid Rana glides to his left, picks it up and hits the stumps directly at the keeper's end with the batter short of his crease. This is sent upstairs from the on-field umpire, and the replay shows that Ibrahim Zadran is inches away from reaching the popping crease at the striker's end. 186/4

31.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Saif bowls a little wide of the crease, angling into the batter. Sediqullah Atal shuffles a bit to his leg and looks to punch this down to long off for one but the ball shoots up on the batter and Atal ends up chipping this towards the left of the part-timer. Saif Hassan glides to his left and grabs hold of it. 173/2

33.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Double delight for the part-timer and Bangladesh are right back in this contest with quick wickets. Tossed up on the pads, Hashmatullah Shahidi goes for the sweep. Fails to get right on top of it and ends up getting a top edge towards Tawhid Hridoy's left behind square on leg. Tawhid Hridoy runs to his left a few yards before putting in the dive to help himself grab a sensational catch. Afghan skipper departs for 2(10). 177/3

37.4 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Maybe the run out was still on the back of Ikram's mind. Ikram Alikhil looks dejected while walking back to the dressing room. Seam up, straight one, on middle and leg. Ikram Alikhil, without any footwork, looks to flick this but gets beaten as the ball skids on and his bat arrives down late. Stumps are rattled as the ball strikes the woodwork. Saif Hassan has turned out to be the golden arm for Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Bangladesh. 188/5

41.3 OUT! CASTLED! It's the second one for Tanvir Islam! He bowls it touch fuller, on off and middle and spins it away from the right-hander. Omarzai strides out big to work it toward the leg side, but the ball sneaks past the outer edge to clip the top of the off stump. Azmatullah Omarzai has to depart, scoring 20 runs off 21 deliveries. Nabi has his hands on his head as he was the one that denied an easy single on the previous ball. 211/6

43.4 OUT! IN THE AIR... TAKEN! Mehidy Hasan Miraz joins the party as well! Miraz bowls it fuller, wide outside off, asking the batter to hit it. Rashid Khan lunges to lash it over sweeper cover, but fails to get the connection underneath the delivery. The ball loops toward the right of the deep cover fielder. Tawhid Hridoy is the man who sprints toward his right, diving away before taking the catch safely into his palms. 221/7

47.5 OUT! TIMBER! The inexperience of Nangeyalia Kharote costs Afghanistan another dismissal. Slower one, back of a length on middle and off, Nangeyalia Kharote looks to join the party by going down on a knee and swinging for the stands. The bat swings early and the ball arrives late, beating the batter and going on to rattle the timber. Kharote would have been better off finding the gap for one and bringing Nabi back on strike. 249/8

48 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Back-to-back wickets for Hasan Mahmud as he dismisses AM Ghazanfar. Hasan Mahmud runs in aggressively from over the wicket, hits the hard length with the ball skidding into the batter. AM Ghazanfar looks to cut this around off but the bat arrives late down from his high backlight and the ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad onto the top of off. A golden duck for AM Ghazanfar. 249/9

18.5 OUT! TIMBER! Rahid's too hot to handle for Saif Hassan or any Bangladesh batter, it seems. Wrong'un around off, turning back into the batter. Saif Hassan prods in front and plays for the one spinning away. The ball beats Saif on the inside and goes on to hit the woodwork. 70/4

8.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Azmatullah Omarzai draws the first blood for Afghanistan! Omarzai bowls it on a good length, pitching it outside off and shaping it a bit away. Mohammad Naim walks off the crease and looks to lash it over the cover region, but the ball kisses the outside edge and flies off toward to right of the first slip fielder. Mohammad Nabi is the man who is standing in the region and does well to react quickly and reverse cup the catch to the right of his head. Bangladesh loses their first batter! 35/1

12.5 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Bilal Sami comes round the wicket, bowls a tad short with the ball nipping back in sharply. Najmul Hossain Shanto doesn't move his feet an inch and swings his bat at it. The inward movement is too much for Shanto who gets it edged off the inside back onto his stumps. 47/2

16.1 OUT! TIMBER! Instant impact from Rashid Khan. Quicker one, turning into the batter around off. Tawhid Hridoy goes deep inside the crease and looks to punch this around mid off, but the ball spins back into the batter and at some pace. The pace, more than spin, does the trick for Rashid and Afghanistan as the ball goes through the gate between Hridoy's bat and his pads onto the stumps. 59/3

19.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Poor from the Bangladesh skipper as he throws his wicket away. Back of a length around off, Mehidy Hasan Miraz stands upright and goes for the big booming drive through cover. The ball doesn't do anything and holds its line as it edges off the outside of Mehidy Hasan Miraz's bat back to the keeper. Ikram Alikhil makes no mistake and pouches this with ease. 70/5

19.2 OUT! SHAMIM HOSSAIN IS RUN OUT! That's a casual approach from Shamim Hossain! Bilal Sami bowls it fuller, around off. Nurul Hasan pushes it toward the left of the extra cover fielder. Hossain sets off a bit early but gets sent back by Hasan and rightfully so. Nangeyalia Kharote sees the opportunity and charges toward the ball, picks it up and throws it directly to the non-striker's end and hits the stumps directly. Appeal for runout from Afghanistan and they seem very confident with it. This is sent upstairs. The TV umpire shows that Hossain is a bit late reaching his home when the ball hits the stumps. Shamim Hossain has to walk back. 70/6

20.3 OUT! LBW! Fuller, around middle and off, Nurul Hasan lunges towards the pitch of the delivery but gets beaten as the ball spins into the batter. Nurul Hasan gets hit on his front pad and an appeal is all that the umpire needed to raise his finger. Nurul Hasan sends this upstairs in hope more than conviction. Ball Tracker shows that the ball would have clipped the leg stump, and the on-field decision of OUT stays. 74/7

23.5 OUT! IN THE AIR... TAKEN! Bilal Sami credits his fourth one! Bilal Sami bowls a slower short-length delivery, on off, shaping it in, to test the patience of the batter. Rishad Hossain falls for it, as he looks to cash it out by pulling it uppishly, but fails to get the timing right. The ball loops toward the right and front of Gurbaz, who is the short mid-wicket fielder. He sprints toward the skier, slides down and takes it safely into his hands. 88/9

21.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Another one bites the dust! Bilal Sami gets his third one! He bowls it fuller, on off and middle. Tanvir Islam clears his front foot and tries to punch it uppishly toward downtown, but fails to get the elevation, as the ball flies straight toward the left of the bowler, where he picks the catch just toward the left of the lower abdomen. Bangladesh loses their eighth wicket. 81/8

27.1 OUT! TAKEN! BILAL SAMI WITH THE FIFE-FER! What a match this inning it was for this young 21-year-old! He bowls it short, just outside off. Hasan Mahmud charges down the track to hit big, but the ball connects the upper part of his bat. It loops toward a couple of yards left of the keeper. Ikram Alikhil does well to have a jog, judge the skier, and glove the catch just in front of chest. Afghanistan wins the match by 200 runs! 93/10
