Stay tuned for Presentations...
Earlier in the match, it was Mohammad Nabi who scored an excellent half-century and made his side reach to a challenging total. Azmatullah Omarzai scored a quickfire 33 runs and supported him well. Shakib Al Hasan was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts as he chipped in with two wickets.
Well, it was a well-fought game from the Afghans. They started off well but lost momentum in the middle phase as their 13th over went on for 21 runs which turned the tide of the game. Also, Shamim Hossain was dropped in the 16th over. Fazalhaq Farooqi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan , and Fareed Ahmad picked up a wicket each and Karim Janat picked up a hat-trick in the final over.
What a game! What a win! The momentum of the game swung like a pendulum from one corner to another and in the end, the hosts pulled out an amazing victory. They had a shaky start and were reeling on 39 for 3 inside 7 overs of play. The skipper then followed the suit in the 11th over. The 5th wicket partnership of Towhid Hridoy and Shamim Hossain was a crucial one as it made the game for the hosts. They lost the momentum again in the final over but Shoriful Islam pulled off the game and finished off the things in style with a boundary.

Fazalhaq Farooqi To Rony Talukdar OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Fazalhaq Farooqi has the last laugh here. It is a full-length ball, on off, although this one nips back in. Rony Talukdar tries to defend it out but only to get beaten on the inside edge. The ball goes through the gap and crashes into the stumps. Infact, the off pole goes for a walk here. Incredible ball and a deserved wicket for Fazalhaq Farooqi.
