BAN vs AFG Live Cricket Score

5 OUT! THREE REDS! Not sure why Munim Shahriar reviewed that. If he did not hit it, it was dead plumb. His entertaining little innings comes to an end and he also takes a review along with him. The debutant looks to go after Rashid. Shuffles across and tries to play the sweep. Picks the wrong length as this is very full. He misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal and the finger is raised. Munim Shahriar reviews. Munim Shahriar reviews. UltraEdge shows no bat and Ball Tracking shows three reds. Bangladesh are in trouble now. Rashid does not take long to make an impact. 25/2

2.1 OUT! THREE REDS AND AFGHANISTAN HAVE STRUCK EARLY! Mohammad Naim, who had a poor BPL, falls for a low score in the first game here. Excellent cricket from the visitors. First Fazalhaq Farooqi sees Naim shuffle across and spears in a near-yorker, it tails back in from outside off at 141.5 kph. Naim looks to jam it out, it either goes off the pad or the bat down to third man and the batters cross. The bowler puts in a loud appeal but it is turned down. Nabi, after a chat, reviews. Replays roll in and they show the onfield call needs to be overturned. Elation for Afghanistan. Just the start they would have wanted. 10/1

17 OUT! CAUGHT! Change in pace has eventually done the trick for Fazalhaq Farooqi and he screams in joy. This was turning out to be an expensive over but he ends up with the prized scalp of Liton Das. Short in length, around leg at 104.7 kph, Liton Das hangs back to pull but ends up top-edging it to the left of short fine leg. Azmatullah Omarzai moves across swiftly to complete the catch. That's a big blow to Bangladesh, perhaps will cost them 25-30 runs. 126/5

7.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Qais Ahmad has hunted down the big fish and raises his arms in triumph. A flighted delivery, landing full around leg at 89.3 kph. It's perhaps the googly. Shakib Al Hasan goes down to sweep it across the line but plays too early and ahead of himself. The ball arrives a bit late to take the top edge and it's a simple catch for Mujeeb Ur Rahman at short fine leg. Bangladesh are in big trouble now. 47/3

10.5 OUT! LBW! Azmatullah Omarzai gets the wicket Afghanistan desperately needed. This pair was really taking the game away from them. A good change in bowling and a good comeback by Azmatullah Omarzai who would have been under pressure after going for 9 runs in the first 4 balls. The debutant surprises the batter there, he was going short so far but this time goes really full, also gets it to tail back in from outside off at 139.5 kph. Mahmudullah looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal and the finger is raised. The Bangla skipper knows that he is a sitting duck and hence walks back even without thinking of a referral. Can Afghanistan now build on this? 80/4

17.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Another set batter is sent packing and Bangladesh are once again losing the plot after a partnership. This one is on a length, around off at 136 kph, Afif Hossain attempts to heave it across the line but it takes the upper half of his blade and flies towards extra cover. A simple catch for Mohammad Nabi and Bangladesh lose their sixth wicket. 127/6

19.2 OUT! Yasir is run out! Great presence of mind from Rashid Khan. Fuller in length and around off, Mahedi Hasan drills his drive down to wide long off. They collect a single and Yasir Ali wants the second run too. Mahedi though has seen Rashid Khan attacking the ball and sends his partner back. Rashid is aware of the situation and fires in a flat throw to the keeper who does the rest. Yasir Ali is found short in the replays. 147/7

19.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Rashid Khan is at it again. This one is around off, on a length, Mahedi Hasan swings his bat at it and mistimes his shot aerially towards wide mid off. They attempt for the second run as Rashid Khan rushes to the ball from long off, collects and sends in a rocket throw to the keeper who breaks the stumps. It's referred upstairs and Mahedi Hasan is gone in the replays. 151/8

2.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Zazai departs and that dropped catch has not cost Bangladesh anything. Flighted delivery, full and around off, Hazratullah Zazai favours the leg side and attempts to heave it over mid-wicket. He though fails to middle his shot and ends up towering it towards mid off. Mohammad Naim is underneath it and makes no mistake. A big sigh of relief for Munim Shahriar who had dropped Zazai. 8/2

0.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Nasum Ahmed draws first blood. A terrific start for Bangladesh and the crowd is going mad. Short in length, around off and skidding in, Yasir Ali steps back to make room and power it over the infield on the off side. He though fails in his attempt and mishits it towards covers. Yasir Ali grabs a fantastic catch over his head at the edge of the circle. 1/1

2.3 OUT! BOWLED! Afghanistan have now lost their top three batsmen with just 8 runs on the board. They are in a big spot of bother here. Nasum Ahmed delivers it full and around off, from wide of the crease, Darwish Rasooli kneels down to power it over the leg side but misses. The off stump is tickled and the crowd roars. That's inexperience for you, Darwish Rasooli could have avoided that shot. 8/3

12.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Najibullah Zadran exits the scene and that has to be the final nail in the coffin. Shakib serves this one on the pads, getting it to skid down at 86.1 kph, Najibullah turns inside the crease to work it away off his pads but gets a top edge straight up in the air towards deep square leg. Munim Shahriar, unlike the last time, takes the skier safely. 62/6

4.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Nasum gets his fourth and is having a ball with the ball. He is all pumped up after getting the revenge for the previous boundary! Dishes out a short delivery, around off at 91.8 kph, Karim Janat moves back inside the crease to punch it over covers but fails to get the desired elevation. A simple catch for Mahedi Hasan at covers and Afghanistan are staring down the barrel big time. 20/4

10.5 OUT! Nabi holes out! 400 wickets in white-ball cricket (ODIs and T20Is) for Shakib! Smart bowling from him. He senses the charge from Nabi and drags his length short and serves it wide outside off. The Afghan skipper has to reach out for it and he smashes it aerially over covers. His shot though lacks the desired distance and elevation and it's a simple catch for Afif Hossain in the deep. Afghanistan continue to slide. 57/5

16.3 OUT! Wicket number 8 goes down! The Fizz delivers his trademark slower one, at 113.3 kph, it's a bit short and around middle and off, Azmatullah Omarzai tries to heave it over the leg side but is way too early into his shot. Ends up mistiming it high in the air at extra cover and Mahmudullah takes the catch safely at the edge of the circle. 85/8

14 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and the end is nigh for Afghanistan. Shoriful delivers it short and wide outside off at 137.9 kph, Rashid tries to dominate the bowler there. Sits back and slaps it over cover-point but doesn't have enough power to clear the fence. Yasir Ali takes the catch safely. 66/7

17.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Number 9 down and Islam gets his man. He sees the batter come down and bangs it short. Qais looks to pull, it goes off the top edge to the right of the pitch and Shoriful Islam takes an easy return catch. He gets his revenge. 90/9

17.4 OUT! TAKEN! The boundary is yet again followed by a wicket. Shoriful Islam has another one and BANGLADESH WIN BY 61 RUNS! A short one. Mujeeb pulls, it is more of the splice and Afif takes it at deep mid-wicket. 94/10
