Ganesh: "By how much do Bangladesh need to win to guarantee a second place finish irrespective of the SL Afghanistan match result?" Bangladesh needs to win by 46 runs or more to go past Sri Lanka's current Net Run Rate.

Zahir Habibi : "Can I celebrate my birthday with an Afghan win?" Happy Birthday, Zahir Habibi. Keep your fingers crossed!

AJ: "That Hridoy dismissal and those three dots against Jaker show exactly why Bangladesh still struggle as a T20 batting unit. It was there to be muscled over cover."

musfiq : "well, Bangladesh are clearly 15 runs short. Good death bowling and poor batting from Jaker tbh."

8:29 pm Afghanistan missed two big opportunities to get early wickets. In the first over, Omarzai couldn't hold on to a tough catch. Then, in the third over, a chance flew right between the wicketkeeper and first slip. A very close umpire's call on an LBW also went Bangladesh's way, giving their openers a couple of early lifelines. After those close calls, the Bangladeshi openers started to play smarter. They seized control of the powerplay, with four boundaries in one Farooqi over and a huge six off Ghazanfar, setting a strong tone. Their brilliant powerplay performance resulted in a score of 59 runs, thanks to some big hits from the openers. The 63-run opening partnership finally ended when Rashid Khan bowled Saif Hassan with a googly. Bangladesh continued to play well against the spinners, reaching 89 runs by the 10th over. However, things changed after the drinks break when Noor Ahmad was brought into the attack. He immediately trapped Litton Das LBW and then, in the very next over, also got the key wicket of Tanzid Tamim, who had just scored the fastest T20I fifty for Bangladesh in Asia Cup. From there, the Afghan bowlers, especially the spinners, did an excellent job of squeezing the run rate in the middle and death overs. The Bangladeshi batters played a staggering 48 dot balls. Rashid and Noor were the stars, each picking up two wickets. The fast bowlers, Farooqi and Omarzai, were also impressive, giving away only 24 runs in the last three overs. We'll be back shortly for the run chase.

Afghanistan need 155 runs to win

5 dots in the last 11 balls. This is some poor batting from Bangladesh.

And he is okay to continue.

Nurul is getting some treatment on his right leg. It looks like his right ankle is wrapped tightly with a lot of crepe bandages.

Farooqi to bowl the last over

Nurul is the new batter at number 7

Omarzai to bowl the penultimate over

Antor Rafi: "Having six wickets in hand, failing to score at least 10 runs per over in the final overs is almost unforgivable."

Here's Farooqi
