Go-Hara loss in the first ODI from a winning situation. Bangladesh won by 68 runs in the second ODI yesterday, showing the kind of performance needed to turn around after that confidence-shattering loss. This is Bangladesh's first victory in 34 years at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The team returned to the series with the win. After losing the series, the Bangladesh team now has a chance to win the series.
Batting first, Nazmul Hossain Shanta fifty and Zaker Ali Anik's cameo innings of 37 runs, Bangladesh scored 252 runs after losing 7 wickets. In reply, Afghanistan were all out for 184 in 43.3 overs.
With two and a half hundred more runs on the scoreboard, the team looked to the bowlers for victory. However, the Bangladeshi bowlers did not disappoint on this day. The Afghans chasing Rana at one time scored 118 runs for 2 wickets, but Bangladesh did not derail on the way to victory. After that, a 'mini' hit in the Afghan innings. Mostafiz-Miraj-Nasumra created extreme pressure on the Afghans by returning Shahidi (17), Omarzai (0) and Rahmat Shah (52) in 6 balls. Then Afghanistan 119/5 on the scoreboard. After losing 35 runs for 4 wickets in the first match, the Afghans turned around and scored 235 runs. But Bangladesh did not allow them to turn around. The bowlers took wickets at regular intervals keeping the pressure on. That's Afghanistan all out for 183 runs. Most successful bowler Nasum; He took 3 wickets for 28 runs. Mustafiz and Miraz took 2 wickets each. Man of the match captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto.
Before that, Bangladesh got an innings of two and a half hundred by batting first. Soumya and Shanta added 71 runs off 93 balls in the second wicket partnership after dismissing opener Tanjid. That took away the initial shock. Soumya, who started off by watching, later returned to the rhythm. But the left-handed opener got out for 35 runs before it became dangerous. After pitching, Soumya skids in and fails to defend, LLBW. Shant kept himself on the wicket and kept playing. Mehdi Hasan made a partnership of 53 runs for the third wicket with Miraj. Mirage, who was bowled by Rashid's brilliant googly, was confident of the wicket and remained calm. Played an innings of 76 runs off 119 balls with 6 fours and 1 six. Shant has seen fifty in 11 innings in all versions. However, the captain can be put on the bench for not being able to play according to the demands of the situation. Miss timing while playing the left-handed spinner Kharote down the wicket! Cool catch by Nabi at long off.
After the Afghans were bowled out for 183, there was a doubt about Bangladesh's 250-run mark. But in the absence of Mushfiqur, the anointed Zaker Ali Anik, who got a place in the XI, made 37 off 27 balls with 1 four and 3 sixes, and Nasum, who got a chance in place of Rishad, made 252 runs thanks to the innings of 25 runs with 1 four and 2 sixes off 24 balls. Most successful bowler Kharote; He took 3 wickets for 28 runs.
Tomorrow is the last ODI of the series. After this first ODI victory in Sharjah, Bangladesh is also dreaming of winning the series at the same venue.
