Shanto hits fifty as Tigers motor on
Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto reached his ninth ODI half-century to propel the Tigers to 142-2 after 30 overs in the second ODI of the three-match series against Afghanistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Shanto, who hit four boundaries and a solitary maximum, reached the landmark in 75 balls. At the other end, Mehedi Hasan Miraz remained unbeaten 21 off 30 deliveries.
Soumya departs, Tigers lose two
Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarker departed after a well-made 49-ball 35 to reduce the Tigers to 100-2 after 19 overs in the second ODI of the three-match series against Afghanistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Soumya went back to full-ish delivery bowled Rashid Khan and it kept low and crashed onto his pads before the umpire signaled out. Soumya did not go for the review which would’ve saved him as it was later shown on Ball Tracking that the delivery pitched outside leg-stump.
Soumya-Shanto puts on 50-run stand
Bangladesh batters Soumya Sarker and Najmul Hossain Shanto put on an unbeaten 63-run stand to propel their side to 85-1 after 15 overs after the Tigers opted to bat in the second ODI of the three-match series against Afghanistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Soumya put away two fours and as many sixes for his unbeaten 41-ball 32, while Shanto hit three fours for his 32-ball 24.
Earlier, the Tigers lost opener Tanzid Tamim for a 17-ball 22 in the fourth over.
Tanzid departs early
It was another disappointing outing for Bangladesh opener Tanzid Tamim as departed after a 17-ball 22 after the Tigers opted to bat in the second ODI of the three-match series against Afghanistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
The left-handed batter put away three fours and six but got carried away which led to his dismissal. After taking mystery spinner Allah Ghazanfar for a six in the first delivery of the fourth over, Tanzid looked to go again in the next delivery down the ground but could only end up giving a simple catch to mid-on.
Bangladesh were 29-1 after four overs.
Jaker debuts, Nasum comes in as Bangladesh bat first
Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first in the second ODI of the three-match series against Afghanistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE today.
The Tigers have made two changes in their playing eleven. Mushfiqur Rahim is out of the series with a fractured finger and in his place debutant Jaker Ali Anik will keep wickets. Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain has also been dropped in favour of left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed.
Afghanistan, who won the first ODI to lead the series 1-0, are going in with an unchanged eleven.
Bangladesh must win the match to keep the series alive, after having lost the first match by 92 runs.
