Bangladesh vs Afghanistan, 2nd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

This is the first time Afghanistan have won an ODI series against Bangladesh and their confidence will be sky high. They were battered in the one-off Test by the same opposition last month but we know how dangerous a side they are in white-ball cricket and they have put clinical performances in back-to-back games. Bangladesh would be eager to bounce back after their poor show in both the games. Join us for the final ODI on Tuesday. Although it's a dead rubber, there is pride at stake. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Till then, goodbye and cheers!

Hashmatullah Shahidi: Very happy that we won the series, it was a great performance by the team. I thought that the wicket was not very easy but our openers batted very well. After the first wicket fell, it was not easy for the batters, but it was a good total on the board. From the last series, our bowlers were not bowling in right areas. We were in Abu Dhabi before this series and worked hard on our game. We have worked hard since the last 2 years to build this team and hopefully our performance in Asia Cup and World Cup will be good.

Gurbaz | Player of the Match: After 3-4 innings, I was in a hard situation. Thanks to the captain and coach, they backed me. That was the plan from the coach and captain, today I took my time and it was easy for me. The credit goes to him (Ibrahim Zadran) as well, he is a very good player and best wishes for him.

Litton Das: When you win the toss and bowl first, the bowlers didn't do their job. We were not up to the mark in the field and with the ball. The way Gurbaz and Ibrahim batted, credit goes to them. After they departed, it was a different ball-game, the bowlers bowled well. As an opener if you bat like 20-25 overs, it is not difficult but you have to control yourself to not give wickets in powerplay because they have good quality bowlers. (On their plans for next game) We will talk and come up with good plans.

21:52 Local Time, 15:52 GMT, 21:22 IST: A clinical all-round show from Afghanistan and they have sealed the series 2-0 with a game in hand. They posted 331 on the board on the back of brilliant centuries from Gurbaz and Zadran. They did lose their way in the final stages of the innings but their opening duo had done more than enough to put up a serious task in front of the hosts. In reply, Farooqi and Mujeeb made the new ball talk and dismantled the top order within the first powerplay. Both bowled frugally as well to ensure that Bangladesh were pushed completely on the back foot. Hridoy looked completely out of sorts and was put out of his misery by Rashid. Nabi got the better of Shakib to almost kill the game. But, Mushfiqur showed good grit and kept fighting. However, the hosts were well behind the required run-rate and he kept running out of partners from the other end. In the end, it was fittingly Farooqi who outfoxed Mushfiqur to lead his side to a massive victory. It is Afghanistan's third highest victory in ODIs in terms of margin. Stick around for the presentations...
