Ibrahim Zadran has got the measure of Taskin Ahmed and smashed him for two fours in two balls. 11 off the over. Remember Bangladesh have set 128 to win. How important will that 48 from Mosaddek be? Bowlers doing a good job at stifling the Afghan strike with just five overs left. AFG: 76/3 in 15 overs
Mohammad Saifuddin will bowl the 13th over. Afghanistan will look to attack him. Single off the first ball. 4 runs off the next 4 overs. And gone!!!! Nabi is LBW!!! AFG 62/3 after 13 overs.
On to the 10th over now and Mosaddek Hossain to bowl this one. And yes!!! That's a wicket!! Zazai reviewd it but it was umpire's call and he said it was out. AFG 45/2 after 9.2 overs
Great start to the last over inside powerplay for Afghanistan. A mishit shot and it finds the boundary. Just the kind of luck they needed. Another 4 off the 5th over. AFG 29/1 after 6 overs

GONE!!!! What a ball by Shakib to bamboozle Gurbaz. He swings, misses and is stumped. Huge huge wicket. AFG 15/1 after 4.1 overs
As Bangladesh look to defend 127 against Afghanistan, the state of Bangladesh cricket couldn’t have been more chaotic. It was only two weeks ago that Shakib Al Hasan was named as the T20 captain for the Asia Cup and the World Cup later in October. (READ MORE)
Is that a dropped catch? Looks so!! Gurbaz hits one and it falls milimetres short of the fielder. Hard luck but you goota take those. AFG 11/0 after 3 overs.
Mustafizur in to bowl the 2nd over and the 2nd ball is smashed over the umpire's head for a four!!! Just a single off the remaining 4 balls. AFG 7/0 after 2 overs
Hazratullah Zazai and Gurbaz are at the crease. Hazratullah Zazai is on strike. Shakib will open the attack. Is that a run out?? The Bangladesis are excited. No. He is well in. AFG 2/0 after 1 over
Innings break! A tame end to the innings. Mossadek Hossain and Mahedi Hasan did fabulously grab some runs in the death. Mosaddek played a gem 48(31), giving some hope to Bangladesh. Hossain's inning can be a match-winning inning. Target: 128
Rashid Khan gets rid off Mahmudullah. He bowls out as well.

Mahmudullah and Mosaddek Hossain are trying to steady the ship somewhat with a few crucial runs in the last 2 overs, including the first 6 of te innings. Just 7 from the 14th over though. BAN 79/5 after 14 overs.
Just when Mahmudullah and Afif Hossain were attempting to steady the ship, Rashid strikes against the run of play. Afif is caught plumb in front. Score after 11 overs, BAN: 55/5
Mahmudullah hits a four off Nabi and with that the 50 comes up. Time for Drinks. Score after 10 overs, BAN: 50/4
Rashid Khan strikes in his first over to dismiss Mushfiqur Rahim! Score after 7 overs, BAN: 31/4
BIG WICKET! Mujeeb Ur Rahman strikes again and this time he gets the big fish. It's the Bangladesh captain who departs. Shakib Al Hasan is gone for 11. Mujeeb ur Rahman is all over Bangladesh. What a spell! Score after 6 overs, BAN: 28/3
Good review from Afghanistan! A milestone for Mujeeb as he picks up his 200th T20 wicket. Anamul Haque is gone for 5. Score after 4 overs, BAN: 13/2
FIRST WICKET! Mujeeb Ur Rahman strikes to send back opener Naim. Early breakthrough for Afghanistan as spinner Mujeeb clean bowls Mohammed Naim, who departs for just 6. The batter failed to read the carrom ball and there was enough gap between bat and ball. Score after 3 overs, BAN: 10/1
Naim and Anamul are at the crease. Naim is on strike. Fazalhaq Farooqi will open the attack. A boundary and a single to start the game off for Bangladesh! Score after 1
