Bangladesh vs Afganistan Match Previews

The visitors had won the first match by four wickets, but despite a blazing innings from Rashid Khan, they could not secure a victory.

Bangladesh bowlers, including Rishad Hossain and Tanjim Hasan Sakib, took two wickets each.

Chasing a target of 152, Bangladesh were in a good position as openers Tanzid Hasan (51) and Parvez Hossain Emon (54) added 109 for the first wicket. But at 109/0, Rashid threatened to turn the match around with four consecutive wickets. Noor Ahmed took another wicket to give the home team a strong chance of victory. However, Nurul Hasan (23* off 13 balls) and Rishad Hossain (14* off 9 balls) held their nerve and chased down the target with eight balls to spare.

BAN vs AFG Match Pitch Report

The Sharjah pitch is generally slow and dry, which favors spinners. In recent T20 matches, spinners have taken more wickets here than fast bowlers. The wicket offers good bounce, but sometimes there is uneven bounce, making shot placement difficult.

The pitch is approximately 62 meters above ground and 65 meters square, which helps batsmen hit boundaries once they settle in. The pitch is favorable for both batsmen and bowlers, but gives spin bowlers a slight advantage, especially in the middle overs.

The average first innings score at Sharjah is around 145-147 runs, and matches are often mid-scoring. Teams winning the toss prefer to bowl first on this ground.
