Ur Rahman to T Iqbal, OUT! Gone! First ball duck for Tamim. The southpaw looks a dead duck, Mujeeb delivers a decisive blow on the first ball. The visitors have lost one of their premium batsman without a run on the board. Exceptional start for Afghanistan, Mujeeb has carried his Indian T20 League form into this game. Bowls a straighter one on off and middle, Tamim shapes to sweep it initially, but seeing the trajectory, he changes his mind. He looks to defend but the ball hits him on the back leg. Loud appeal and the umpire obliges.

Welcome back. Bangladesh have a stiff target to overhaul. Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das will open for Bangladesh. For Afghanistan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman will start the proceedings with the new ball.

After that, a couple of brilliant cameos from Shenwari and Shafiqullah gave the hosts the push they needed. The Bangladeshi bowlers tried hard but leaked too many runs towards the fag end for their liking. It is a pretty competitive score on a surface which is on the slower side. Bangladesh have to bat well to hunt this one down. Join us shortly.

The momentum is with the home side and they have finished on a high. 71 from the last 5 overs is a result that they will be really happy with. It was a sensible start from the hosts as the opening pair of Shahzad and Ghani laid the foundation with a 62-run stand. However, the visitors pulled things back with some quick wickets. A double-wicket over from Mahmudullah jolted Afghanistan somewhat.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman comes out to bat, but Rashid Khan will be facing the final delivery of the innings as the batsmen crossed.

A Hasan to R Khan, SIX! Just the finish the hosts needed, 19 from the final over. Pitched up ball outside off, Rashid Khan hangs back, kneels and hammers it over wide long off for a maximum. AFGHANISTAN FINISH ON 167/8.

A Hasan to K Janat, OUT! Janat holes out in the deep! Length ball outside off, the batsman goes for a wild slog but mistimes it towards cow corner. Mosaddek Hossain in the deep runs to his right and takes a fine catch.

A Hasan to R Khan, OUT! Bingo, another one goes down! Tries the slower ball but it is way outside off. The batsmen try to steal a run but the keeper is aware of the situation. Underarms a throw to find Stanikzai short of his crease.

Karim Janat strides out to bat with just two balls to go.

A Hasan to R Khan, Outside off, Rashid Khan goes for an agricultural slog but misses it completely.

Rashid Khan walks out to bat. He needs to smash from the word go...

A Hasan to Shafiqullah, OUT! Timber! Low full toss on off, Shafiqullah swings with all his might but is foxed by the lack of pace on it. Gets beaten and finds his off stump dislodged. A brilliant knock from him nonetheless.

A Hasan to Shafiqullah, SIX! This guy is playing a gem of a knock. He is on 24 from 7 balls. Off pace ball on a full length outside off, the batsman clears his front leg and slogs it over mid-wicket to find the fence.

A Hasan to Shafiqullah, SIX! Hit with authority! Slower ball on a shortish length, Shafiqullah goes deep in his crease and pulls it with aplomb. Has hit it very well and it is in the deep mid-wicket stands.

Abul Hasan will bowl the final over of the innings. Can he finish well? Or will the Afghan pair take him to the cleaners?

R Hossain to Shafiqullah, Ooh! That must hurt! Shafiqullah drills this one back towards Hossain who takes a blow on his foot. He is down and looks in pain. Hopefully, he will be alright. Hossain ends with figures of 4-0-32-1.

R Hossain to Shafiqullah, Banged in hard on the deck, Shafiq goes for the hook shot but misses.
