well hit but straight to deep point and that's a comprehensive win for Afghanistan!
That's all from us folks, this is Ankur Dhawan, signing off on behalf of Liam Brickhill
Rashid Khan: 40 for 4 is always tough to come back from, but you have to be mentally ready for such challenges, Asghar and Nabi did well to take it deep. Mujeeb has done well in leagues for years, today he was fantastic. Pretty good to have four wins against Bangladesh
Mohammad Nabi is the man of the match: Totally team effort, Bangladesh were brilliant with the ball early, but Asghar and I planned to target last five overs. Shot selection at the top wasn't great. Good for me to concentrate on white ball cricket. In franchise we have different roles and here we have different roles as Mujeeb opens for us, he was brilliant so was the captain
Shakib: I thought first ten overs we were brilliant with the ball, but from there they scored 104 in the last ten, on that sort of a wicket it was hard to digest. The no-ball that allowed Asghar to bat on cost us, it changed momentum. We struggled to take responsibility at the top. Need to do the small things right.
Time for the presentation
The top order threw it away falling to some atrocious strokes, starting with Mushfiqur, who opened only the second time in his international career, and against a much better attack than Zimbabwe's there was no letting up. Mujeeb starred with four, Farheed, Rashid and Gulbadin all chipped in with two apiece to hand Afghanistan their second win which takes them to the top of the table.
Mustafizur going to go down fighting, comes down the track and swats the length ball up and over the off side
short one and that's a ferocious pull shot, bisects deep midwicket and deep square leg, one bounce and into the fence
slower one, half way down, completely deceived him as he swung hard but way too early
length around off, he latches on to it, swings it away to the on side and clears long-on
googly, squares him up and beats the outside edge
flat and quick around off, swings it away to deep square leg for one
quicker one middle, Mustafizur swings across the line and misses but no says the umpire
googly and through him! Pitched outside off, the idea was right as he went for the slog sweep, the execution was poor as he missed it completely
length around middle, he switches over and reverse sweeps it over short third-man, excellent connection as it bounces away into the boundary
length around middle, has an almighty swing but gets a top edge that goes high into the night sky, Rashid runs back, keeping his eyes on the ball throughout, settles under it and takes it calmly before tossing it back in the air in celebration, Made it look easy, it wasn't
full outside off, he swings hard and gets an outside edge past short third-man but the fielder catches up and pulls it back on the boundary with a slide
leg cutter, short this time, he has a massive heave but gets it off the splice, falls in no man's land
another leg cutter way outside off, makes him reach, managed to do so and push it into the covers for one
full outside off, tries to blast it through the covers but misses
length outside off, pushed into the off side
slower ball full outside off, he gets under it and strikes it flat and hard towards long-off, where the fielder keeps his head judges it to perfection with his feet just inches from the rope and with the young man, who fought spiritedly again gone, Afghanistan can probably breathe easier
drops it too short seeing him advance, called wide
flatter one around middle, tucked away through square leg
