Asia Cup 2022, Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Live Score Updates: Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Rashid Khan On Top; Bangladesh 5 Down | Cricket News

BAN vs AFG: SIX!

That’s a lucky escape for Mosaddek Hossain. He mishit a Mohammad Nabi delivery towards long-off where the fielder touched the boundary ropes after taking the catch to eventually see Bangladesh getting six runs. 

BAN 64/5 (11.4)

BAN vs AFG: Wicket!

This is sensational stuff from Afghanistan. They have reduced Bangladesh to five down. Rashid dismissed Afif Hossain LBW. Afif was not happy with the umpire’s decision of out, hence he took a review only to waste it. 

BAN 53/5 (10.3)

BAN vs AFG: FOUR!

A boundary comes for Bangladesh after a long-long time. Mohammad Nabi bowled it on the pads of Mahmudullah and the batter played it fine for a four.

BAN 49/4 (9.5)

BAN vs AFG: Afghanistan in control

Bangladesh’s current scoring rate is 4.67. The Afghnistan bowlers, especially Mujeeb Ur Rahman, have done a good job so far. 

BAN 42/4 (9)

BAN vs AFG: Wicket!

Another one bites the dust! Rashid Khan has dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim and Afghanistan are all over Bangladesh. It was another superb LBW review from the side that helps them reduce Bangladesh to four down.

BAN 28/4 (6.2)

BAN vs AFG: Wicket! Shakib departs

Shakib Al Hasan is gone! Bangladesh batters are not learning and it is the third wicket for Mujeeb in the innings. The ball once again kept low and Shakib missed his drive by a fair distance.

BAN 24/3 (5.2)

BAN vs AFG: FOUR!

Another boundary from Shakib. This is a good counter-attack from the Bangladesh skipper.

BAN 21/2 (4.3)

BAN vs AFG: FOUR!

Poor ball from Naveen-ul-Haq down the leg side to Shakib and the southpaw hits it for a boundary with ease. 

BAN 17/2 (4.2)

BAN vs AFG: Wicket!

Mujeeb strikes again! That’s a brilliant review from Afghanistan. Mujeeb caught Anamul Haque in front of the stumps but umpire was unconvinced over the LBW appeal. Afghanistan  decided to go upstairs and ball tracking showed that it would have hit the leg stump. Anamul walks back on 5 off 14 balls. 

BAN 13/2 (4)

BAN vs AFG: Wicket!

Mujeeb Ur Rahman has struck in his first over itself. Mohammad Naim has been cleaned up by him on latter’s individual score of 6 runs. Bangladesh lost their first wicket.

BAN 7/1 (2)

Farooqi bowled a full toss to Naim and the southpaw just needed to pass the mid-on fielder for a boundary and he did that with ease.

BAN 4/0 (0.3)

BAN vs AFG: Dot ball

It was overpitched from Farooqi and Naim drove it to mid-off. No runs came off the first ball. 

BAN 0/0 (0.1)

BAN vs AFG: Get set, go!

Mohammad Naim takes the strike, Anamul Haque is at the other end. Fazalhaq Farooqi has the new ball in hand. Here we go!
