BAN vs AFG Live Cricket Score

25.2 OUT! TAKEN! That is a really smart catch! Bangladesh have two in quick succession and this is the big fish, it is the well-set Rahmanullah Gurbaz who falls three short of a half ton. The pressure has got to him too. He was deprived of strike in the recent overs and things had gone quiet too. However, not sure if he needed to go after the Fizz, especially with Hashmatullah Shahidi being dismissed in the last over. This though is wonderfully bowled, excellent deception. Sees Gurbaz come down the track and bowls a lovely slower one outside off. Gurbaz is through his shot early. It goes more off the outer half towards deep cover. Tanzid Hasan runs in and takes a neat catch. 112/4

8.2 OUT! TAKEN! There is the first wicket and it is Shakib, the skipper who delivers for his side. Much-needed wicket for his team. This is slower and it is outside off, Ibrahim Zadran looks to play the sweep, he tries to drag it from outside off. It goes off the top edge towards deep square leg and Tanzid Hasan takes it nicely. 47/1

15.1 OUT! TAKEN! Shakib Al Hasan strikes yet again! The sweep shot is the downfall of yet another Afghanistan batter! Another one which is tossed up nice and slow, a little bit of extra bounce again, Rahmat Shah looks to sweep, he yet again looks to drag it from outside off, it goes off the top edge towards cover. Litton Das takes it. Can Bangladesh now bring in some control. 83/2

24.4 OUT! TAKEN! The pressure, the pressure has got to Hashmatullah Shahidi! He was batting at a strike rate of below 50 and the run rate of Bangladesh had also gone down quite a lot. Hashmatullah Shahidi looks to step on the gas. He gets down the track but the length is dragged back by Mehidy Hasan and also it is slower. Hashmatullah Shahidi still goes for the big shot but it goes off the top edge towards mid-wicket. Towhid Hridoy takes a good one. Bangladesh on top one can say now. 112/3

28.4 OUT! TIMBER! Straight through him! Yet another big wicket as we all know how dangerous Najibullah Zadran could be! All of a sudden, Afghanistan have half the side back in the hut. This is a procession. From 112 for 2, they are now 122 for 5. Shakib has his third. This lands on middle and goes on with the arm. Najibullah Zadran just plays down the wrong line. He misses a straight ball and it hits the leg pole. 122/5

30 OUT! TIMBER! Chops it on! The procession continues! Shakib with a master-stroke to get Taskin Ahmed back and Bangladesh all over Afghanistan now! This is a a poor shot. This is just around off and it is coming back in. Mohammad Nabi looks to open the face and guide it down to third man. There is not enough room for that. It takes the inside edge and crashes into the leg pole. 126/6

35.2 OUT! BOWLED! Another chop on! Afghanistan 8 down now! Length and on off, this one might have stayed a touch low. Azmatullah Omarzai is late in getting his bat down. He gets an underedge which hits the stumps. Azmatullah Omarzai needed to stay there longer, he was playing well and was the last recognized batter. He too falls. It actually did not take the underedge. It just came in with the angle. Azmatullah Omarzai played the wrong line. It hits the back pad and then onto the stumps. 156/8

34.2 OUT! DRAGS IT ON! Mehidy Hasan has another one. Rashid Khan falls now. Yet again, this looks so disappointing. Nothing great about the delivery. This is a normal, flatter delivery around off. No turn, nothing, goes on with the arm. Rashid Khan casually looks to work it on the leg side but does so without moving his feet. It goes off the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. Bangladesh will now want to keep Afghanistan below 200. 150/7

36.3 OUT! TIMBER! Another one bites the dust! Number 9 down! This is tossed up, it starts around middle and then drifts away. Mujeeb Ur Rahman looks to go big downtown but plays down the wrong line and it hits the off pole. 156/9

37.2 OUT! TAKEN! There is the end of the innings! Shoriful Islam gets his second. A short one on middle, Naveen-ul-Haq looks to pull, it goes off the top edge towards deep square leg. Towhid Hridoy runs in and takes it. AFGHANISTAN BOWLED OUT FOR 156! 156/10

4.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Tanzid Hasan is short and Bangladesh have lost one early! Good length and on off, this is guided to point. Liton Das holds his ground, Tanzid Hasan is off for a run but is sent back. Najibullah Zadran picks the ball up and hits the stumps at the bowler's end. It is taken upstairs and replays show that Tanzid Hasan is short. Tanzid Hasan could have dived, a dive would have saved him. Afghanistan need more wickets. 19/1

6.4 OUT! TIMBER! The leg pole goes for a walk! Fazalhaq Farooqi has one and it is a big wicket. Das walks back. Afghanistan hanging in there. From around the wicket, this on a length and just outside off, Das looks to push at it but does so away from the body. It goes off the inside edge and hits the leg pole. 27/2

28.1 Has that been taken! It is referred upstairs. OUT! TAKEN! That is as clean as a whistle! Mehidy Hasan departs but this stand has done its job! On off, Mehidy Hasan looks to go over mid off. Rahmat Shah leaps and takes it with one hand. A screamer. It is taken upstais to check if it is a clean catch. Replays show that it is one. 124/3

33.3 OUT! TAKEN! Azmatullah Omarzai has something to celebrate about as he gets the Bangladesh skipper. This is short and on middle, it is pulled straight to deep square leg where the fielder takes it. 146/4
