Sports Desk

Bangladesh men’s cricket team failed to chase down the target of just 191 runs in 50 overs. They lost the series by a huge margin to Afghanistan due to their abysmal batting performance, making it three consecutive ODI series losses.

Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh by 81 runs in the second ODI at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. Batting first, Afghanistan scored 190 runs. One of their main batsmen left the field after playing 11 balls due to injury.

However, they got the capital to fight with Ibrahim Zadran’s 95 runs. However, chasing this run was not supposed to be very difficult. Bangladesh team made it difficult and folded for 109 runs. The match ended with about 21.3 overs remaining. Afghanistan won the series with one match in hand.

Rashid Khan left the Bangladesh batsmen in awe. He took 5 wickets for 17 runs in 8.3 overs. Azmatullah Omarzai took 3 wickets for 27 runs.

The highest score of Bangladesh’s innings was scored by Towhid Hridoy. He scored 24 runs off 34 balls. He was bowled oddly by Rashid. Saif Hasan also scored 22 runs. Although Zaker Ali and Nurul Hasan Sohan reached double figures, their batting was painful to the eyes.
