Here’s a look of Nasum Ahmed brilliant spell:

After captain Mahmudullah won the toss and chose to bat, the home team cruised to a comfortable victory.

Liton Das, the wicketkeeper-batter, bat brilliantly for 60 runs before being caught by Fazalhaq Farooqi. However, the rate at which Das scored set the stage for the rest of the batters to push the final score past the 150-run mark.

Farooqi and Azmatullah each took two wickets, while Rashid Khan and Qais Ahmad each had one wicket.

In response, Afghanistan never really got deep into the run-chase, and aside from Najibullah Zadran and Azmatullah Omarzai, no other batter could provide resistance and fell tamely to Bangladesh bowlers’ guile.

The visitors were bowl out for 94 runs in 17.4 overs, handing the hosts a 61-run victory.

The second T20I is scheduled for March 5 at the same location.
