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!
