Scorer: Harshith Gowda | Commentator: Rvel Zahid

Shoriful Islam, Player of the Match: The wicket was good for batting. I wanted to do the same as I did in practice and it worked out. When I came in to bat, Nurul told me not to give my wicket away and I wanted to (capitalize) on anything pitched full

Rashid Khan, Afghanistan Captain: I feel that today at least the positive sign was our fielding--we delivered what we wanted but we still fell short of some runs. Early on, the wicket was better for batting. If you go into sixth gear, you weren't able to switch back to fourth or fifth; if you hit a few big shots, (it's about reassessing and maintaining balance between shots). I knew the spinners were bowling well - Azmat delivered too - but it was a bit harder with so many spinners and there wasn't enough time to give everyone a go. Definitely, Abdollah Ahmadzai is one for the future

Jaker Ali, Bangladesh Captain: It feels good. As a team, we've played really well in the last two games and today we were more clinical. The bowlers set the tone, the wicket was better than yesterday, and we showed good character. We had to take our chances because they are quality spinners. We stayed positive and looked for boundaries...credit to the boys for that

Glorious scenes unfolded at this picturesque venue as Bangladesh fans went berserk in the aisles. Nurul Hasan once again rose to the occasion, playing a terrific knock under pressure. Omarzai was the pick of the bowlers for Afghanistan, claiming four wickets and bringing his team back into the contest. Rashid Khan kept Afghanistan in the game with two wickets and economical bowling, though Noor Ahmad was a bit off-colour and inconsistent. Bangladesh, however, had enough firepower in the tank to seize the big moments. Talismanic Shoriful Islam had a stellar day, first returning figures of 1-13 and then playing a match-winning cameo. Afghanistan have now lost four matches in a row and are yet to deliver a complete performance. Thanks for tuning in, goodbye and goodnight!

Hans: "Not a good capetancy by Rashid. Abdullah Ahmadzai is the future star, conceded only 8, but he is given only one over, and Nabi is given 3 very expensive overs."

Mubarak Ali Mia: "To win this match, Mustafizur Rahman or Shoriful has to turn into Maxwell now."

Azmatullah Omarzai to Shoriful Islam, FOUR, Around the wicket, banged in short and tries to cramp him for room, he continues in his bullheaded way and pulls it emphatically into the gap at long-on for a boundary! Bangladesh have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series but what a game of cricket! Another exhilarating affair

END OF OVER:
19 | 17 Runs | BAN: 146/8 (2 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 7.68, RRR: 2.00)

Noor Ahmad to Shoriful Islam, 1 run, Noor has been expensive today! Tossed up just outside off, takes the aerial route and slices it to deep cover-point, cries of catch but it dropped well short of him

Noor Ahmad to Shoriful Islam, FOUR, Dipping on the full, hits it straight like an arrow and relieves all the pressure, straight into the sightscreen! Splendid shot.

Noor Ahmad to Shoriful Islam, 2 runs, Bowls it fuller towards the toes, flicked, using his fluid wrists, to deep midwicket, easy opportunity for a couple

Noor Ahmad to Shoriful Islam, 3 wides, Tossed fuller and outside the guideline on off, keeper cannot collect it cleanly and throw is off from short third...comedy of errors as they pick up another run, Noor didn't pick up the throw cleanly

Noor Ahmad to Shoriful Islam, no run, Short of a length on middle, a legbreak, clipped to short midwicket and was very keen on taking a single, non-striker sent back after bit of indecision
