Bangladesh go head-to-head against Afghanistan in the 2nd T20I at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet on 16th July, Sunday at 5:30 PM IST.

Bangladesh were brilliant in crucial moments of the game in the 1^st T20I. They kept striking and ensured they put the dents early in the innings for Afghanistan, however, they let them off the hook at the end and ended up conceding over 150.

Bangladesh batters in replay crumbled in the run chase in the first half of it. They lost wickets in heap and were staring down the barrel. However, it was the partnership of Towhid Hridoy and Shamim Hossain, that brought life into the contest. Suddenly, Bangladesh were ahead and in the last over, Karim Janat gave a bit of a scare by picking up a hat-trick but Shoriful came in and smashed a boundary to seal the game.

Afghanistan did brilliantly well to post a total of over 150, thanks to a brilliant fifty from Mohammad Nabi and a brief cameo from Azmatullah Omarzai. Afghanistan’s bowling took some beating in the middle overs, but they were brilliant with the ball at the start. Karim Janat was sensational with a three-for. However, Afghanistan needs to address its top-order batting woes and come back stronger.
