17.4: Naveen-ul-Haq to Taskin Ahmed, OUT! CHOPPED ON! NAVEEN-UL-HAQ, YOU BEAUTY! Afghanistan is just a solitary wicket now from the qualification! Naveen-ul-Haq bowls a deceptive slower one from around the stumps and pitches it around off, and nips back it a bit as well. It keeps low and skids through quickly. Taskin Ahmed is deep in his crease and swipes it across the line but gets a thickish inside edge that dismantles the furniture. A sea of raw emotions in the Afghan camp! This game has swung to and fro keeping us all on the edge of the seats.

17.3: Naveen-ul-Haq to Litton Das, PUT DOWN! Naveen-ul-Haq gets his right hand to the ball but can't keep a hold of it on his follow-through. A genuine chance gone begging. Full and outside off, Litton Das doesn't read the ball, and looks to drive downtown but plays it early and chips it straight back to Naveen-ul-Haq who reaches for it but eventually shells it and parries it around the mid on region for a single.

16.6: Gulbadin Naib to Taskin Ahmed, A dot to end the over. Gulbadin Naib is appealing for caught behind but just for a brief moment. Short and angling on off, Taskin Ahmed goes for a back foot punch beaten on the outside edge.

16.5: Gulbadin Naib to Taskin Ahmed, A bit of a yes and no from the two batters but they don't run. Back of a length, around off, Taskin Ahmed defends it in front of covers and wants a quick run but gets a sendback from Litton Das.

15.6: Noor Ahmad to Litton Das, A loud appeal for LBW but turned down. Noor Ahmad is begging to the umpire and they do go upstairs and why not? Noor lands it right in front of the stumps and on a fuller length that turns a shade into the batter after pitching. Litton Das is drawn forward and goes for a front foot defence and wears it on the front pad. UltraEdge shows that there's no bat involved but dramatically Ball Tracking shows that the impact and the wickets are on umpire's call.

19.6: Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Rashid Khan, SIX! BANG! A signature shot from Rashid Khan to end the innings and could that be a telling blow for Bangladesh as the rain now comes pouring down and the players rush off the field? Tanzim Hasan Sakib looks to go full and straight but Rashid is deep in the crease and ready for it, Rashid whips the ball across the line and dispatches it onto the roof over the mid-wicket fence for a mammoth biggie. Afghanistan finish with 115/5!

19.5: Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Rashid Khan, Nicely bowled! A leg cutter now, pitched up outside off stump, Rashid Khan shuffles across to slog it away but misses and wears it on the body.

19.4: Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Karim Janat, Just the single! Full and straight at the stumps, Karim Janat drills the ball down to long on for a run.
1
19.3: Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Rashid Khan, Have you ever seen that? Rashid Khan has thrown his bat at his partner and is livid with Karim Janat for denying the second run. This is pitched up around off stump, Rashid Khan hangs deep and throws his bat at it and ends up slicing the ball high and to the left of the cover fielder inside the ring. Mahmudullah moves across to his left, crouches a bit but the ball falls safely next to him. It gets deflected off his knees to point and seeing that Rashid turns for the second run. But to his disappointment, Karim is not going anywhere and that results in Rashid throwing his bat at his partner in frustration. That didn't look good. You need to compose yourself even when the situation is tough. Anyway, Janat has calmly walked up to his skipper and handed him his bat. The on-air commentators are finding some comic relief in it but we are finding none. A player of Rashid's stature especially, who's an inspiration for many, must have avoided that ugly moment. Anyway, let's move on.

19.2: Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Rashid Khan, SIX! That has been put away over the ropes! Banged in a bit short and wide of the off stump, Rashid Khan hangs back and slaps the ball up and over the cover region for a biggie.

19.1: Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Karim Janat, Excellent fielding from Najmul Hossain Shanto. Hard length outside off, Karim Janat hangs back and slaps the ball flat over mid off but Shanto leaps up and gets a hand on it. The ball rolls behind and Rashid Khan opts to take just the single.

0
18.4: Mustafizur Rahman to Rashid Khan, A bit of cat and mouse between the bowler and batter. Rashid Khan moves in the crease and walks past the outside off, Mustafizur Rahman follows him with a slow and wide one. Rashid doesn't quite keep his shape and fails to play it over the off side and no wide is signaled either.

17.4: Taskin Ahmed to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! CAUGHT! Taskin Ahmed built up enough pressure in those first three deliveries and is now rewarded with a wicket. Not quite short from Taskin rather just hammered in on a hard length around off stump. Mohammad Nabi looks to stay put and smash it across the line with sort of a horizontal bat but is late on the shot and the ball gets lofted away off the top edge in front of mid off. Najmul Hossain Shanto calls for it and takes a simple catch.
