A fantastic win for Bangladesh and they have improved their chances to qualify for the Super Fours. The might have lost against Sri Lanka, but they were right on the money, right from the start today. The Bangladesh openers got them off to a brisk start earlier in the day and the centuries by Miraz and Shanto propelled them to a massive total, and definitely not to forget the cameos by Shakib and Mushfiq that helped Bangladesh in doing so. In reply, Afghanistan lost an early wicket in the form of Gurbaz, and the Afghan top-order batters - especially Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah went into a shell right after that wicket. Ibrahim Zadran did play an entertaining innings, but few of those shots he played were after he had notched up his fifty. Shahidi too scored a fifty, but Afghanistan were never in the game, to be honest. Rashid Khan a few boundaries towards the end, but they were never going to be enough. Stay around for the presentations..

This was a win built on the shoulders of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, whose centuries laid the platform for their massive total. Then with the ball, the bowlers kept things tight, especially the spinners through the middle overs, before a flurry of wickets at the death owing to scoreboard pressure sealed Afghanistan's fate.

Shahidi | AFG captain:I thought the target was chaseable. The outfield was quick and the target was chaseable, but we lost wickets. Their bowlers were good in the beginning, and our run rate was really low, that's why we couldn't win. We need to improve in all the departments. Today our bowling was not good enough, neither was our fielding. Lahore is nearing to our country, so the fans were waiting for this game. Hopefully they will come and support us again in the next game.
