But the start of Bangladesh was not bad in the run chase at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Once Nazmul Hossain Shantor's team picked up two wickets for 120 runs. The captain himself was at the crease, accompanied by Mehdi Hasan Miraj.

But from there the collapse started. When the team's runs were 120, Shanto attempted a paddle sweep off Mohammad Nabi. But due to timing error, he had to be caught by Hashmatullah Shahidi at short fine leg. His innings was accompanied by 47 runs. In the end, this is the team's highest innings.

Among the Afghan bowlers, off-spinner AM Ghazanfar picked up 6 wickets in his sixth ODI. The spinner started off by sending Tanjid Tamim back, and ended by smashing Shariful Islam's stumps.

Earlier, Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat. They lost five wickets for 71 runs on the pace ball of Mostafizur Rahman-Taskin Ahmed.

However, experienced all-rounder Mohammad Nabi and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi relieved the pressure of the Afghans by making a pair of 104 runs in the sixth wicket. Nabi scored 84 runs with 4 fours and 3 sixes, 52 runs came from Shahid's bat. Mostafiz and Taskin took four wickets each for Bangladesh.
