Bangladesh Clinch Series with Two-Wicket Win Over Afghanistan

Bangladesh got the better of a fine series win in Sharjah, winning the second T20 match between the two nations by two wickets in a thrilling match. The Tigers demonstrated strength at the roosting end with the ball, and Nurul Hasan was his unbeaten 31 that pushed him through to the goal, to secure an unbeatable 2-0 lead.

This was to be the case as Afghanistan batted first. Based on Ibrahim Zadran’s steady 38 and late cameos by Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai, they scored 147/5. Although the first 55-run opening partnership was encouraging, Afghanistan faltered in the middle of their innings, which was caught by the disciplined spells of Nasum Ahmed and Rishad Hossain.

Bangladesh was in pursuit of 148, but instead faltered early 24/3, and Omarzai struck twice. A vital 56-run partnership thereupon settled the innings by Skipper Jaker Ali and Shamim Hossain. Wickets continued to fall, although a fast 33 by Shamim and a steady finish by Hasan saw the Tigers get across the line with five balls to spare.

4/23 was an Afghan performance, but not good enough to prevent Bangladesh writing a series victory. Having one match remaining, Bangladesh will seek to win it all, and Afghanistan will seek to make the last T20I a redemption.

The win not only indicated Bangladesh’s profundity in batting but also demonstrated their nerve in pressure circumstances. Bangladesh’s finishing department has been getting a much-needed boost as Hasan guides them home, and hence, they are a stronger unit as they go into future tournaments.
