Bangladesh Innings
After deciding to bat first, Bangladesh got a solid start courtesy of two opening batters Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar. They built a half century stand; it was broken when Azmatullah Omarzai cleaned up Soumya Sarkar on 53 runs on the scoresheet. And then there was a mini collapse as Bangladesh lost 4 quick wickets for only 19 runs just after adding 53 runs by the opening pair. Tanzid Hasan, Zakir Hasan, and Towhid Hridoy just threw their wickets away and put Bangladesh in a spot of bother. Then Skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz and the most experienced cricketer of Bangladesh squad Mahmudullah Riyad started the rebuilding the innings. They manage to build a partnership of 145 runs to ensure Bangladesh got some runs on the board on this series decider match. The only negative impact of this partnership was it took 188 balls what slowed down the run rate a bit. The skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz batted on 55.46 strike on for his 66 runs innings what probably the cause of this slow batting what are not the main fashion of batting in modern day cricket. After the departure of Mehidy Hasan Miraz, it was the lonely fight of veteran Mahmudullah Riyad, to add some quick runs on the board at the death overs. He missed his well-deserved century for just short of two runs when got himself run out in the last ball of the innings. But not before he managed to help Bangladesh to put a fighting total on the board. Bangladesh scored 244 runs for 8 wickets on their allotted 50 overs quota. Azmatullah Omarzai was the best Afghanistan’s bowler, and he managed to pick up 4 wickets for 37 runs in just 7 overs. Experienced spinner duo Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan also managed to pick up a wicket for themselves.
Afghanistan Innings
In reply, Afghanistan started the innings with caution and aggression as both openers played the good balls with solid defence and put the bad balls to the boundary specially Rahmanullah Gurbaz had a brilliant outing on the field with his bat. Though he kept losing his partners on the other side of the wicket he kept the scoreboard ticking. The partnersips with Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, and the skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi didn’t last long but when Azmatullah Omarzai joined with him in the wicket he found the right partner to take Afghanistan home. They have added a hundred runs partnership of just 111 balls that made the pillar of Afghanistan’s run chase. Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out after scoring a match defining century. He scored 101 runs of 120 balls with 5 boundaries and 7 over boundaries. After his departure, experienced Mohammad Nabi joined Azmatullah Omarzai, and they made sure no more hiccups at the end of the run chase. As Bangladeshi bowlers didn’t have enough runs on the board to defend, they can’t be blamed for the defeat. Two fast bowlers Nahid Rana and Mustafizur Rahman picked up 2 wickets each, and the skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz picked up the wicket of the centurion Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Afghanistan won the match by 5 wickets and 10 balls to spare. They also sealed the series by 2-1 as they won the first match of the series.
Match Stats & Highlights
This was the third consecutive ODI Series win for Afghanistan. They have also managed to reduce their win and loss against Bangladesh. They have won 8 out of 19 outing against Bangladesh in 19 ODIs.
The main highlights of the Bangladesh innings were partnership of Mehidy Haasan Miraz and Mahmudullah Riyad. Mahmudullah Riyad’s well fought 98 runs from the same number of balls was the most shining part of Bangladesh innings. Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s slow 66 runs from 119 deliveries also mentionable. Meanwhile, the brilliant bowling of Azmatullah Omarzai who picked up for Fer was the main highlight of Afghanistan bowling.
On the other hand, the brilliant and game sensible batting from Rahmanullah Gurbaz, a match winning half century from Azmatullah Omarzai and a finishing touch from the experienced Mohammad Nabi were the main highlights of Afghanistan innings. The bowling of debutant Nahid Rana who picked up 2 wickets was very impressive and experienced Mustafizur Rahman also managed to grave 2 wickets. Bangladeshi spinner Nasum Ahmed’s economical bowling also mentionable who conceded only 24 runs in his 10 overs of bowling quota, including 2 maiden overs. Anyway, at the end of the day all went to the vein as Afghanistan simply outplayed on the field.
Tactical Analysis: What Happened
Inexperience of Bangladeshi skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz has cost the game. If he could rotate the strike better and if could support another spinner Nasum Ahmed more with the ball, the whole scenery could be different. But you must give credit to Afghanistan bowlers who kept things tight and their batters who batted sensibly through the match. And fragile middle order batting of Bangladesh can be accused of consistently reckless batting show that just not cost them the match, series as well.
