🏏T20 Asia Cup 2025: AFG vs BAN, 9th Match, Group B at Abu Dhabi🏏 - Page 14

Time for a drink. Spin playing a huge part here and that's why Litton Das has gone for the likes of Saif Hassan and Shamim Hossain. The aforementioned duo will have to share the 5th bowlers' quota and Afghanistan will feel that's where they have a chance. Currently it's advantage Bangladesh.

It seems there is no chance for AFG.

Rishad Hossain to Gurbaz, out Caught by Jaker Ali!! Gurbaz is on his knees in disappointment while Rishad Hossain does a double fist-pump. It's tossed up full outside off, Gurbaz goes low and sweeps, but the top-edge carries straight to the fielder at deep backward square-leg. Jaker goes on his knees and takes a simple catch. That's a big wicket for Gurbaz was the set batter and was looking to up the ante. Gurbaz c Jaker Ali b Rishad Hossain 35(31) [4s-2 6s-2]

Rishad Hossain to Gurbaz, THATS OUT!! Caught!

13.2

Saif Hassan to Azmatullah, SIX, this is a massive hit. It's tossed up full just outside the leg-stump, Azmatullah makes room and lofts high and clean over long-off, that went a long way, starts the over well

13.1

Saif Hassan to Azmatullah, FOUR, poor delivery and four. On a length outside off, no sweeper cover and Azmatullah goes on the back foot and cuts hard, beats the diving cover-point to his right, races away

13.4

Saif Hassan to Azmatullah, SIX, this is a monster. Absolute monster.
