Bangladesh are eying third successive series victory inT20 format when they take on Afghanistan in the second and final match tomorrow (Sunday) at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
The match, which starts at 6 PM, will be aired live on Gazi Television and T Sports.
In its history only once the Tigers won three series in a row when they beat Zimbabwe, Australia and New Zealand at home in 2021.
The hosts won the first match by two wickets, overcoming a dramatic last over hat-trick of Karim Janat but what mattered most was that they showed a skill to be a giant in this format.
The victory was set up by the young players with Towhid Hridoy leading the team with a 47 not out. His knock came at a moment when Bangladesh were reduced to 64-4 and stood on the brink of a defeat.
Hridoy found support in another youngster Shamim Patwari as the duo dealt with Afghans much-vaunted spin attack astutely to combine for a 73 runs off just 43 balls. As their partnership edged the side closer to victory, Rashid broke it, dismissing Patwari for 33 but Hridoy stayed calm under pressure to take the game deep.বিস্তারিত
