293/9 (50.0/50)
93 (27.1/50)
Afghanistan beat Bangladesh by 200 runs
And that's a wrap for this series! Afghanistan has dominated the ODI series, not allowing a single win to Bangladesh. Bangladesh's next assignment is a home series against the West Indies, featuring 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is. Meanwhile, Afghanistan will head to Zimbabwe for a tour consisting of 1 Test and 3 T20Is. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world. Thanks for joining us, and cheers for now!
Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance, highlighting the difficulty of achieving a whitewash. He praised the team effort and singled out Bilal Sami for his impressive contributions. Shahidi also looked forward to the upcoming Test series against Zimbabwe, revealing that his team had been preparing specifically for red-ball cricket. He acknowledged the challenge of playing Test cricket, which they don't often get to play, but expressed excitement for the opportunity.
Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz acknowledged his team's shortcomings in the series, admitting that they didn't play well and made mistakes. He emphasized that scoring runs and capitalizing on opportunities are crucial, and the team fell short in these areas. Miraz took responsibility for the loss, highlighting the need for improvement in batting, particularly in the top and middle order. With a focus on the future, he stressed the importance of adapting to the 50-over format and learning from each game to get better.
Ibrahim Zadran, the Player of the Series, reflected on his series, saying that missing out on a century hurt a lot. However, he prioritized his team's needs over personal milestones, emphasizing that he gave his all and that's what mattered. Zadran praised his opening partnership with Rahmanullah Gurbaz, highlighting the trust and camaraderie they share. He also acknowledged the challenging pitch conditions, revealing that he focused on applying his skills and experience to navigate the innings.
BILAL SAMI IS THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH. Bilal Sami attributed his success to his hard work and the support of his team. Despite facing stiff competition from other bowlers, he was thrilled to have delivered a match-winning performance.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier, Afghanistan scored 293/9 in 50 overs after a dramatic late surge, thanks to Mohammad Nabi's unbeaten 62. Nabi's explosive batting came after Afghanistan's middle order collapsed, following a solid start with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran's 99-run opening partnership. Zadran scored 95, while Saif Hassan picked up 3 wickets for 6 runs in 4 overs. Bangladesh's bowlers struggled to contain the Afghan batters in the final overs, conceding 44 runs in the last two overs.
Rashid Khan and Bilal Sami were the stars of the Afghan bowling attack. Bilal Sami took a fifer and was sensational, while Rashid Khan claimed three wickets. Their impressive performance ensured that Bangladesh's batting lineup remained under pressure, ultimately leading to a comprehensive victory for Afghanistan. This win marks a significant milestone for Afghanistan, as they have achieved their first-ever ODI series whitewash against Bangladesh.
Once Saif departed on an individual score of 43, Bangladesh's hopes of even competing in the match began to dwindle. He was the only batter who seemed comfortable against the Afghan bowlers. The Afghan bowling attack, led by the masterful Rashid Khan, was ruthless and efficient, leaving Bangladesh's batters with no breathing space at all.
Afghanistan asserts its dominance with a 3-0 whitewash over Bangladesh in the ODI series, capping it off with a convincing 200-run win in the final match. Bangladesh's chase got off to a shaky start, with the openers failing to set the tone. The team's backbone was broken early on, and despite Saif Hassan's promising start, he couldn't single-handedly rescue the team.

Bilal Sami To Hasan Mahmud OUT!
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!

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.

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.

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.
Here comes the Afghan Ace, Rashid Khan, into the attack.

DRINKS! Bangladesh's slow start in chasing 294 might not be a cause for concern just yet, as they have talented batters who can accelerate the scoring later in the innings. However, Rashid Khan's presence in the bowling lineup is a significant threat, and they'll need to be cautious. Saif, looking set, will be crucial in anchoring the innings and playing a long, match-winning knock. His wicket could be key in determining the outcome of the match.

FOUR! That's a cracking shot for four. Short and wide outside off, Saif Hassan hops up on his toes, gets into a perfect position to cut this one and cuts it well over backward point for a boundary towards the deep third region. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, from deep point, gives it a chase to cut off some runs for the side but overruns it and the ball goes across the fence behind him. Gurbaz appears to have done his hamstring here with the way he was holding it before dragging himself off the field.

Bilal Sami To Najmul Hossain Shanto OUT!
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.
It seems like Rashid Khan might be experiencing some discomfort or issue with his right shoulder, possibly due to the diving effort he made to save runs off Shanto's cut. This could potentially be a minor injury or just a bit of strain, but we'll need to see how it affects him going forward.

That's a poor delivery from Bilal as he bowls one short and wide outside off, Shanto cuts this well towards the right of Rashid Khan at deep point for one. Rashid does well to keep it down to just one with his brilliance in the field.
