Afghanistan will look to seal the series as they take on Bangladesh in the second ODI at Sharjah tonight, after a clinical all-round performance in the opening match. Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi won the toss and elected to bat first on the night.
The hosts were dominant in all departments in the first ODI, comfortably chasing down Bangladesh’s target of 222 with five wickets and nearly three overs to spare. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rahmat Shah led the way with half-centuries, continuing their consistent form. Rahmat, in particular, has been in sublime touch, registering scores of 51, 56, 49, 133, and 50 in his last five innings.
With the ball, Rashid Khan and Azmatullah Omarzai shared six wickets between them, stifling Bangladesh’s middle and lower order just when they looked set for a big total.
For Bangladesh, the middle order showed promise with a 101-run partnership between Towhid Hridoy (56) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (60), but the rest of the lineup collapsed under pressure. With three losses in their last four ODIs, the visitors are under pressure to bounce back and stay alive in the series.
Changes may be on the cards for Bangladesh, who’ll need their top order to step up against a confident Afghan side chasing another series win.
