Mohammad Shahzad is named the Man of the Match for his blistering knock. That is all from this game but don't go too far, we have the second game for the day coming up real quick. The hosts Bangladesh take on Nepal. Stay tuned!
Afghanistan stay alive then! They beat Hong Kong in a fairly comfortable manner to keep their chances of qualifying in the Super 10s alive. They need to thank Hong Kong as well for some shoddy fielding. Afghanistan, thanks to Moahmmad Shahzad and a late flourish from Shafiqullah cruised home by 7 wickets.
Maiden T20I fifty for Shafiqullah.

Aizaz Khan To Mohammad Nabi
NOT OUT! A good length ball on middle and leg, Nabi flicks it down to fine leg and completes a couple but Shafiqullah wants a third and charges back for it, has to dive in to make his ground. The umpire takes it upstairs for a referral but the dive keeps him alive.

Haseeb Amjad To Mohammad Shahzad OUT!
OUT! Well well well! Is that the catch of the tournament? A slower ball on off, Shahzad slinks down the track and goes up and over cover, he times it well, probably a bit too well for his liking, the ball dies down just before it is snapped up by Irfan Ahmed who dives to his right low down and takes a ripper. A terrific catch to end a terrific knock from Shahzad.

Irfan Ahmed To Mohammad Shahzad
Total misjudgement! Hong Kong really need to work on their fielding, at the moment, it is downright ridiculous! Shahzad hacks across the line of this length ball, gets a leading edge down to third man who is in a limbo whether to go for the catch or not, does nothing in the end and the ball drops just in front of him.
