OUT! BOWLED'EM! Delight for the debutant! Nahid Rana gets his first ODI wicket with an absolute cracker of a delivery. He hits the length hard on the sixth stump line, gets it to nip back in sharply at around 149 clicks. Sediqullah Atal stays in his crease but is late to bring his bat down and plays down the wrong line as well. The ball goes through the gap between bat and pad and just kisses the top of off. He could not have done much with that as it was a perfect ball. Afghanistan lose their first wicket! Also, Rahmat Shah walks out to bat at number 3.

Powerplay 2! Bangladesh can now have four fielders outside the inner ring till the 40th over. Afghanistan have got to a decent start but they can;t seem to be handling the express pace of Nahid Rana here.

Mehidy Hasan brings himself into the attack now.

Drinks! The game is nicely poised at the moment with no team being in ascendency here. Afghanistan have lost a couple of wickets but Rahmanullah Gurbaz as finally found his form and will be the key in this chase. They need a couple of good partnerships and they will be in a great position to get over the line. Bangladesh knows that batting becomes difficult after the 20-25 overs and will need to be patient for their spinners to get into this game and pick up the wickets. An exciting phase of cricket awaits us.

Azmatullah Omarzai is the next man in.

Halt! Mehidy Hasan is suffering from a bit of cramp here. The physio is in to check on him and do some stretching. We are good to continue now.

Halt! It looks like Rahmanullah Gurbaz has hurt his left hand putting in that dive. The physio is in to check on him. He is good to continue.
0
Drinks! Afghanistan 103 runs to win in 19 overs now. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is batting on 82 and he has looked a class apart from the other. Azmatullah Omarzai has also provided good support and this is the key partnership that will decide this game. Bangladesh have failed to grab a few opportunities in the field and it is proving to be costly unless they can pick up wickets in clusters here. The wicket is turning a bit but the Bangladeshi spinners are yet to make an impact. If they get a wicket or two quickly now, it is going to be an exciting end to this chase.

Gulbadin Naib walks out to bat now.

Right then, that is it from this game and the series as well. Afghanistan have defeated Bangladesh 2-1 maintaining their excellent form in ODIs. Hashmatullah Shahidi, the skipper steps up to receive the trophy. He then joins his teammates to lift it together and pose for some photographs. It is another feather in the cap of this Afghanistan team who are making big strides in world cricket. Next up for the Afghans is a three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. The first game will be played on 9th December at 11 am GMT. For Bangladesh, they go to the Caribbean to take on West Indies in a two-match Test series. The first Test is scheduled to begin on 22nd November at 2 pm GMT. But as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up to every game. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
