Summary of the Afghan innings
Batting woes

Afghanistan's innings started on a high note with Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz adding 99 runs for the first wicket.

However, after Gurbaz's dismissal, Afghanistan lost four wickets for just 15 runs in a span of 25 balls.

Zadran, Nabi power Afghanistan to a strong total
Key players

Ibrahim Zadran and Mohammad Nabi were instrumental in Afghanistan's batting performance. Zadran scored 95 runs, while Nabi added an explosive 62 runs off 37 balls.

Their contributions helped set up a challenging target for Bangladesh.

Nabi, in particular, was the chief architect. His blitz in the final 2 overs helped Afghanistan get past 290.

At one stage, a score of 250-260 was looking likely for the Afghans before Nabi broke loose.
