Winning
the second T20 match by 6 wickets, Afghanistan sealed the T20 series 2-0 with
one match left at hand. This match was played at the same venue- Rajiv Gandhi
International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun, India.
Bangladesh
skipper, Shakib Al Hasan, won the toss for the second time in this series. However,
this time, he opted to bat first, but still his side could only score a meager 134 losing 8 wickets. Left-arm opener Tamim Iqbal scored 43 off 48 balls. He
along with Mushfiqur Rahim made a 45-run partnership for the third wicket stand. Mushfiqur Rahim was stumped by Mohammad Shahzad while on 22. Tailender Abu Hider played an
aggressive innings of 14-ball 21, hitting one four and two sixes.
It
looks like Bangladeshi batsmen could not yet reveal the mystery of Rashid Khan.
The 19-year-old leg-spinner took 4 wickets for 12. For his excellent bowling performance,
he was awarded the “Player of the Match” title. Mohammad Nabi took two wickets
while Shapoor Zadran and Karim Janat took one wicket each.
In
reply, the Afghans reached the target with 7 balls to spare. Losing four
wickets, they scored 135 runs in 18.5 overs. Samiullah Shenwari scored 49 runs
off 41 balls, including three sixes and two fours. With the bat, Mohammad Nabi played
an aggressive innings of 15-ball 31, striking three 4s and two 6s.
Mosaddek
Hossain impressed with the ball as he took 2 for 21 in three overs. Rubel
