    15.6 Celebrappeal and the finger goes up! Arm ball darted on the stumps, played off the front foot and missed the line of the ball, hitting the front pad. Tanvir Islam starts his celebration immediately, waving both arms like a bird towards the cover fielder! After a brief appeal, the umpire's finger is up. Gurbaz opts to review it. And looking at the replay, that is dead plumb! Ball tracking confirms it: no bat involved, and it's hitting the middle and leg stump. 99/1
    36.5 Oh dear! What is happening out there! Quicker and fuller length ball on the pads from around the wicket, clips it with soft hands to short fine leg and sets off for a quick single. Alikhil responded to the call, then suddenly turned back and refused the single, leaving Ibrahim Zadran stranded in the middle of the pitch. Zadran hurried back and committed to a desperate, last-moment dive, but Nahid Rana's bullet throw was pinpoint, shattering the timber! He was short by mere inches. The disappointment is agonizing. Zadran, out on 95 runs, his second consecutive dismissal on that score, walks back slowly towards the dugout and throws his bat in anger, kicking away a chair. Unlucky, but a moment of brilliance from Nahid Rana. 186/4
    31.3 Soft dismissal! Saif gets the breakthrough! Similar line and length ball, this one straightens after hitting the deck, plays off the front foot and commits early with the straight bat, chips it back to Saif who dives forward to hold on to it. A rare error from the Afghan batting unit, combined with a moment of individual brilliance, has given Bangladesh some much-needed space to breathe. 173/2
    33.3 Taken at deep backward square leg! Tossed up slot delivery around the fifth stump line, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep, does not get quite hold of it and finds the leading edge, Hridoy comes forward sprinting in and commits to a fully stretched dive to gobble it up. 177/3
    37.4 Cleaned him up! Back of a length ball kept low and angling in on middle-leg, backs away to make room outside leg, tries to play through the covers, cramped for space and goes through bat-pad, the bails are flying, and so are the Bangladesh players at the moment! 188/5
    41.3 Bowled'em with a peach! Flighted length ball on the stumps with a hint of turn and bounce away from the batter, who plays the straight drive inside the line of the ball, deceived by the variation and breaks the stumps! 211/6

    43.4 Rashid Khan bites the dust! A tad fuller length ball around off, gets away from the wicket and plays it inside-out, did not get enough power or elevation to clear the ropes. Towhid Hridoy from deep extra cover sprints to his right side and dives in to pouch it with both hands. 221/7
    47.5 Slower delivery does the trick! Change of pace ball from around the wicket, gets down on one knee early and goes for the wild swing of the bat, Kharote is nowhere near the line of the ball as he moves his view away from the ball, clips the top of the off stump and Afghanistan lose their 8th wicket. 249/8
    47.6 Knocked the off stump over! Hard length ball darted on the off stump line. Ghazanfar didn't have a clue where the ball was, swung his bat at it blindly, and Mahmud uprooted the off stump. 249/9

    18.5 The wrong'un does the trick again! Given plenty of air and gets it to spin back from a fuller-length, big gap between bat and pad, sneaks it through the defence and it hits the middle, Rashid makes taking wickets look so easy, could have easily been introduced earlier as well 70/4
    8.2 the shortish ball has done the trick! He wanted to stamp his authority and has got the stamp to leave the crease! skiddy shortish ball moving away from off, he comes forward and attacks it, giving a thick edge to Nabi who makes no mistake. Superb bowling, he has improved by leaps and bounds, seldom gives anything away 35/1
    12.5 Around the wicket, sprints in and thumps it hard into the surface, gets it to sway in and he tries to cut but ends up chopping it back onto his stumps, his misery comes to an end. He was going nowhere and just when he tried to shift gears, ended up making a big mess of his stumps, was too close to cut. Good bit of aggression and pace from Bilal 47/2
    16.1 Man oh man! Rashid is a magician! Starts off with a good length googly and he goes on the backfoot to cut, trying to attack him straightaway and ends up getting his stumps rattled! What a bowler, a match-winner, a game-turner and a high impact bowler 59/3
    19.1 Over the wicket, short of a length and gets it swerve away a touch from fifth stump line, he sees the width and wanted to pounce on it, ends up feathering it to the keeper. Lovely cross-seamer that draws the outside edge, captain departs and Bangladesh are staring into the abyss 70/5
    19.2 Afghanistan are on a roll! The worst thing that could have happened was a run-out and Shamim is short of his crease. A shortish ball on off was tapped to Kharote at point and he was vigilant enough to see an opportunity for a run-out and hit the bull's eye. Bangladesh are collapsing quickly 70/6
    20.3 slip remains intact. This is turning out to be a big mismatch! Clever variation in length, pitched fuller on middle and gets it to straighten a touch, huge appeal for an lbw and given! He has sent it upstairs for another opinion. Was lunging at it, trying to get behind the line, nothing on the ultra-edge. Pitching in line, impact in line and just clipping leg-stump which will be enough to retain the on-field decision 74/7
    23.5 Pace-off delivery and he gets gobsmacked by the bumper aimed at his helmet, goes for the pull and finds Gurbaz at short midwicket who takes a spectacular running catch 88/9
    21.2 Tanvir chips one back to the bowler, Sami picks his third; he has bowled with a lot of spice and energy! Pitched fuller and just outside, drilled it back to the bowler who holds onto the catch brilliantly 81/8
    27.1 Over the wicket, throat ball and he decides to go for a pull, ends up getting a top-edge and is safely taken by the keeper! Afghanistan floor Bangladesh with a thumping 200-run win! They absolutely decimated them in all aspects of the game. Sami he picks up a fifer and bowled his heart out. Biggest margin of win at this venue, incredible performance! 93/10
