Afghanistan vs Bangladesh, 3rd T20I, Live Score, Dehradun

A Alam to L Das, Good effort from Rashid Khan in the deep. Shortish on the stumps, Das pulls it through backward square leg. The leggie out in the deep covers a lot of ground to his right and keeps it from the boundary line. Keeps the batsmen down to two.

A Alam to L Das, FOUR! Makes superb connection this time and sends it all the way. On the shorter side of the length, but it's a fraction too straight in line. Liton Das camps back and muscles the pull across the mid-wicket fence for a boundary.

A Alam to L Das, Das gives the charge and seeing this, Alam shortens his length. Angles it in and cramps the batsman for room, thereby forcing him to miss his shot and taking a blow in the mid section.

A Alam to L Das, Just over the fielder! Short of a length just outside off, it zips off the deck and hurries Liton Das who top edges his pull shot. Just about manages to clear Mohammad Nabi at mid on who can't get to it. Two runs taken.

A Alam to L Das, Shaping back in on middle and leg, on a length, Das moves inside the line and pushes it in front of mid on.

Aftab Alam to bowl from the other end.

Ur Rahman to T Iqbal, The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot.

Ur Rahman to L Das, OOH! In the air.. and safe. Just over the mid-wicket fielder. The batsman tries to flick the flighted delivery away with a wristy shot but gets a top edge. The ball lobs in the air for a while but just clears the fielder. In the end, they pick up a single.

Ur Rahman to L Das, No run. The Umpire declines the appeal. The flighted delivery from Mujeeb hits Das on his pad, who was out of his crease to meet the ball.

Ur Rahman to L Das, The batsman was beaten and missed the line of the delivery.

Ur Rahman to T Iqbal, Stays in his crease to play the floated delivery outside and gets it to the short square leg region for a single.

Ur Rahman to T Iqbal, Wide! The ball is down the leg side but the batsman still goes after it and misses. The Umpire signals a wide.

Ur Rahman to L Das, Mujeeb starts the proceedings with a flighted delivery on the middle stumps and Das punches it to mid off for a single.

We are back for the chase. It will be Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das to get things underway for the visiting side with the bat. Mujeeb Ur Rahman will take the ball first up for the Afghans. Drama already. Shahzad has a few words to say to the batters, due to which, the umpire had to intervene. We are now set to go. Let's roll...

It was a collective performance from the Bangladeshi bowlers. Barring Abu Hider, everyone was relatively economical and most managed to pick some wickets as well. The gamble from Shakib to use his spinners, including himself, in the death overs paid off as the Afghan batsmen lost their wickets trying to finish off big. Well, half the battle is won, but the biggest one remains. Bangaldesh's batting has let them down largely and now, they will have to post their biggest total of the series tonight. Should be interesting to see how it unfolds. Join us in a while for the chase.

A good bowling performance from Bangladesh to restrict Afghanistan to 145. The 'hosts' got off to a solid start as the opening pair put on a fifty-run stand, but since then the Tigers kept things tight by picking up wickets at regular intervals. There were two good partnerships, both involving Shenwari. He shared it with Stanikzai and Najibullah. But aside from that, there wasn't anything of note. Nabi failed to get going and that probably was why they didn't even get to the 150-mark.

N Islam to S Shenwari, A good finish to the innings. Another faster one from Islam and Shenwari could only get it to the cover region. Just one run taken, a very poor running between the wickets. Rashid Khan was eyeing the second one but Shenwari didn't respond, in fact, he is seen clutching his hamstring. Tremendous final over by Islam, AFGHANISTAN MANAGE 145/6 ON THE BOARD!

N Islam to S Shenwari, Right in the blockhole! Good bowling from the bowler. He is not allowing any easy runs to the Afghanistan batsmen.

N Islam to R Khan, Gives the charge and powers the ball to the mid-wicket region. One run added to the total. These singles won't hurt Bangladesh. They have dragged back this game a touch.

N Islam to S Shenwari, This is a bit too unorthodox from Shenwari. Goes for the reverse sweep but couldn't get it past the backward point fielder. Intelligent bowling from Islam.
