Bangladesh's decision to bowl first after winning the toss turn out working well, as their bowlers have been in control of the game, However, there was a rain interruption, and now the match will be played for 17 overs (DLS) method. At the moment few balls left, it's quite challenging for the Afghan batters to reach 150 runs. I'm looking 120 runs after playing 17 overs.
Yeh absolutely Some significant pieces of bowling from Bangladesh side hold opponent batter to make any big damage during target building while opponent are ready to take his revenge of his previous defeat but all in vain as due to DLS over comes down to 17 which has really impact thier total target, while expected target were 150 around. Now Bangladesh batter are looking pretty confident because they has scored 66 runs in 8th over without dismissal of any batter, chances of thier victory are pretty high because thier ongoing run-rate are higher than required. I am sure that this will be an easy win for Bangladesh if Rashid didn't show his magic.
In T20 cricket batsmen especially in death overs they try to play aggressively. But Afghanistan cricket could not play those overs and as a result their score was not very long. Bangladesh team is going to get a very easy win as per requirement. At this moment Bangladesh team need only 40 runs to win with 31 balls in hand even though they have lost 3 wickets. But if we can see 3 more wickets then the result of the match can be changed. But naturally the victory of the Bangladesh team is almost certain. Because there is no pressure to collect those runs.
Bangladesh did not play under much pressure with Afghanistan in the T20. Because Bangladesh team batting and bowling performance is stronger than Afghanistan which is proven in this match. I would like to say that their run tally is very short due to the fall of Afghanistan's wickets but Bangladesh were very conscious of the wickets in that regard. Due to which Bangladesh won very easily, especially Liton Das and Afif Hossain's run collection was very interesting in the power play. Afghanistan's fast bowling has given many runs in the over and the fast ball Bangladesh batsmen can play very well.
Despite not winning the ODI series, the Bangladesh team played well in the T20 series. However, the Afghanistan team was a little more experienced in the T20 format than Bangladesh. The performance of Bangladesh batsmen was very good in both the matches. Liton Das managed to bat well in today's match. Shakib also picked up 2 wickets and played a brilliant innings of 18 runs off just 11 balls. Shakib's performance was very responsible. However, since Bangladesh's expectations are high in the upcoming ODI World Cup, the players will have to try to bring more consistency in their performances.
After losing the ODI series against Afghanistan, Bangladesh under the leadership of Shakib Al Hasan made a great comeback in the T20 series. Bangladesh confirmed the series against Afghanistan with a big win by 6 wickets in the last match.
If the game was held at the scheduled time, then due to rain, the game was stopped for about one and a half hours. At the end of one and a half hours, when the outfield was made suitable for playing, the match referee decided to conduct the 20 over match in 17 overs. Later, Afghanistan managed to score 116 runs after losing 7 wickets in the 17th over. Bangladesh got a great victory with five balls in hand.
Shakib Al Hasan has been selected as Man of the Tournament and Man of the Match for this series.
