In the last match, they lost to Bangladesh by 4 wickets. Batting first, Openers Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz gave another excellent start to the team scoring 47 and 29 runs, but the middle-order again failed to click. Thus, resulting in a below-par total of 138. Shafiqullah Shafiq played a useful cameo of 23* runs for the team. With the ball, Debutant Naveen-ul-Haq took two scalps along with Rashid Khan but ultimately failed to defend the target. They will hope to bounce back tomorrow, and defeat hosts Bangladesh at their home turf to capture the trophy of Tri-series.
On the contrary, Bangladesh has made a good comeback after losing to Afghans in the second encounter. Skipper Shakib Al Hasan is leading the team from the front and is getting support from their pacers, particularly Mohammad Saifuddin and Shafiul Islam. Their key batsmen such as Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das have, however not been able to find a good rhythm and are not performing consistently.
In the last match, Bangladesh bowlers were in good form restricting Afghanistan at 138. Part-time spinner Afif Hossain took two scalps while Shakib, Saifuddin and Shafiul Islam were also impressed with the ball. Chasing the target, In-form skipper Shakib Al Hasan single-handedly carried his team to victory scoring unbeaten knock of 70* runs in just 45 balls.
