by Staff Writer

Afghanistan's spin bowler AM Ghazanfar wreaked havoc on Bangladesh, taking a career-best 6 for 26 to lead his team to a commanding 92-run victory. Despite a strong start in their chase, Bangladesh collapsed dramatically, losing 8 wickets for just 23 runs to be bowled out for 143 within 35 overs. Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan also made significant contributions with the ball, as Afghanistan's spinners dominated the opposition.

In a crucial moment, Nabi's strategic field change paid off as he set a trap for Bangladesh's batsmen, leading to key breakthroughs that derailed their chase. The match turned in Afghanistan's favor as they capitalized on Bangladesh's batting collapse to secure a convincing win.
