Player of the Match

Mehidy Hasan

81(120)&0/28(10)

Right then, that's all we have from this outstanding match. This series is off to a great start. The second ODI is on Friday, 25th February 2022, at 10.30 am IST (5 am GMT). Do join us in advance for all the action. Cheers!

Tamim Iqbal, the winning skipper of Bangladesh, is very proud at the moment. He starts by admitting that he had no belief that they will win this match. Adds that he is very happy with the way those youngsters batted. Tells that Afghanistan have a great bowling attack and the way Afif and Mehidy handled them was amazing. Hopes that they continue to do that in future as well.

Mehidy Hasan is given the Player of the Match award! He was exceptional with the ball and then was involved in a record partnership with Afif Hossain.

Hashmatullah Shahidi, the captain of Afghanistan, says that they had a good start with the ball but after that Bangladesh's batters played really well and didn't give any chance to them. Adds that they were at least 30 runs short. Mentions that they started well but wants to credit the batsmen of Bangladesh. Tells that it's part and parcel of the game and they will try to come out strongly in the next match.

Afghanistan will be shell-shocked at the moment. They were below-par with the bat and managed just 215 runs but then their bowlers gave them a real chance. Fazalhaq Farooqi showed his class with the new ball and had the hosts on the mat. The Afghans though failed to capitalize on the start. Once the pair of Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan settled in, there wasn't much pressure applied on them. The asking rate was never too demanding and Afghanistan needed more intensity in the field. Also, Hashmatullah Shahidi was very late in bringing Fazalhaq Farooqi for his second spell and there the touring team perhaps missed a trick. They now have suffered their first loss in the ICC World Cup Super League 2020–2022 but still have 20 points to play for in the series.

It was a shocking start for Bangladesh in the chase! There were blown away by Fazalhaq Farooqi who picked four wickets in his first three overs and ran amok. By the 12th over, the writing was on the wall for Bangladesh as they were reduced to 45 for 6. After the batting crumbled like cookies, two calm headed lads joined forces. As the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. The pair of Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan not only soaked up the pressure of imminent defeat but also went on to script an unbelievable win for Bangladesh. Their record unbeaten alliance of 174 runs stole all the momentum away from Afghanistan and eventually, it turned out to be an easy win for the home team.

A resounding fightback from Bangladesh! A hard-fought win but it will give them a lot of happiness and belief. Their backs were to the wall and if you had stopped following this match after the 12th over, you have missed a sensational partnership and will be in for a big surprise. Take a bow, Afif. Take a bow, Mehidy! The crowd is going mad, the Bangladesh dugout is ecstatic. A standing ovation from the VIP box.

A review for caught behind. No one seems interested apart from Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the wicketkeeper. No bat, confirms the UltraEdge. The wide that was signalled is taken back by the onfield umpire as there was a slight contact with the thigh pad.

Rashid Khan To Mehidy Hasan

Tossed up, full and around off, it's blocked off the front foot. Maiden from Rashid! 81 needed off 102 balls.

32.5

Rashid Khan To Mehidy Hasan

Appeal for a caught behind, the finger has stayed down though! Full and floated outside off, turning away, Mehidy tries to smash it over covers but misses. The keeper collects the ball, they appeal but to no avail. Afghanistan have not taken the referral. The replays, later on, show that there was no spike off the bat and it was the blade hitting the floor.

32.4

Rashid Khan To Mehidy Hasan

Loopy and around off, Mehidy defends it ahead of his front pad.

32.3

31.4

Fazalhaq Farooqi To Mehidy Hasan

Appeal for an lbw, turned down! Fuller in length, around middle and leg, from 'round the wicket, Mehidy tries to flick but misses. It goes off his pads to square leg and they cross. Afghanistan decide not to review it and now the signal for a leg bye comes.

The physio comes out to have a look at Afif Hossain. He looks to be in some pain after the dive. The magic spray is out now. Afif Hossain might need some time to settle down before he can get back in the crease. The physio shows the thumbs up to the player and we are back underway.

31.3

Fazalhaq Farooqi To Afif Hossain

Risky single! Fuller in length and outside off, Afif pushes it towards mid off and scoots to the other end. Rashid attacks the ball, has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. That would have been curtains for Afif. Even his full-length dive would not have saved him. He seems to have hurt his shoulder in the process.

31.2

Fazalhaq Farooqi To Afif Hossain

Swing and a miss! Fazalhaq Farooqi bends his back to go short, it's around off and shooting up, Afif tries to pull but fails to connect.

Full and flighted, around off, Afif is on the front foot as he defends it to the off side.

A long break, this. Still waiting for the artificial lights to take full control. Now, we are ready to resume! Here is Rashid Khan...

Rashid Khan is back for another spell with Afghanistan in need of a wicket now. 1 for 17 in Rashid's 5 overs so far. Hang on, there seems to be some issue with the artificial lights. The umpires have decided to take Drinks. Bangladesh have recovered well through the stand between Mehidy Hasan and Afif Hossain. They are in a much better position now and have a glimmer of hope. Afghanistan would believe that it's just a matter of one wicket and they will be into the Bangla tail. It's tightly poised.

Drinks break! The hosts are in all sorts of trouble. They are running short on wickets at the moment with only 4 left in the bank. The target was not a big one but the Afghanistan bowlers have made sure to turn it into a mountain. They are dictating terms at the moment and would be surely eyeing their 7th ODI win on the trot. Can the Afghan bowlers bundle out Bangladesh below 100?

Rashid Khan To Afif Hossain

SAFE! Rashid delivers a googly around leg, Afif gets across the stumps a bit as he attempts to work it away off his pads. He seems to have missed the ball and is rapped on the pads. It races away to the fine leg fence. The appeal is made, it's turned down and Shahidi opts for the DRS. The Ball Tracking shows that it's pitching outside the leg stump. FOUR LEG BYES and Bangladesh bring up their 50.

Review! Afghanistan take a review for lbw. The onfield decision is NOT OUT. The third umpire confirms it is a fair delivery. The UltraEdge later show no bat is involved.

Fazalhaq Farooqi To Yasir Ali OUT!

OUT! STUMPS SHATTERED! This is sensational from Fazalhaq Farooqi. He is getting the ball to talk both ways and has the speed to breach the defense as well. Hurls it across on a length around middle, at 136.4 kph, it lands and skids through as Yasir Ali is late in bringing his bat down. The ball sneaks through and demolishes the stumps. Fazalhaq Farooqi jumps in joy, he has picked four wickets in his three overs. Dream stuff, a double-wicket maiden!

4.1

Fazalhaq Farooqi To Mushfiqur Rahim OUT!

OUT! LBW! Mushfiqur Rahim is gone. Fazalhaq Farooqi is on fire. Brilliant stuff from the left-arm seamer. He is getting the ball to bend back in. Lands it around off and it moves back in to beat the forward defensive prod of Mushfiqur Rahim. He is rapped on the pads and the finger has gone up. Rahim though has taken the referral. It's pad first, confirms the UltraEdge as the bat is a little away. The Ball Tracking finds everything adjacent - three reds and Rahim is sent packing as well. Seems they all prepared for Rashid Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqi has come out of the syllabus.

2.5

Fazalhaq Farooqi To Tamim Iqbal OUT!

OUT! LBW! A body blow to Bangladesh as their skipper returns and what an over from Fazalhaq Farooqi - has removed both the openers in a matter of three balls. Great delivery from Fazalhaq Farooqi, he serves it on a length outside off and gets it to nip back in sharply. Tamim is forward a shade in defense but it beats his bat and pings him on the front pad. The appeal is not entertained. It's a big wicket so Hashmatullah Shahidi is ready to take his chance with the referral.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz collects the ball with a dive and is charging forward in appeal but the finger stays down. The keeper has convinced his skipper to take the DRS. UltraEdge detects a spike and Fazalhaq Farooqi draws first blood.

2.2

Fazalhaq Farooqi To Liton Das

Back of a length around off, Liton is on the back foot again as he blocks it to the off side.
