The Najmul Hossain Shanto-led Bangladesh unit made a strong comeback in the second ODI against Afghanistan with a clinical 68-run win. Bangladesh batted first and scored a healthy total of 252 while batting first and it was always expected to be challenging on a slow and low pitch.

However, a lot was expected from Afghanistan as they have played some good cricket in recent past. Their batters though struggled against some disciplined bowling, and the one batter who was batting well with good skills and patience was Rahmat Shah. His innings though was cut short by a terrible mix-up with Gulbadin Naib in the 30th over of the match.

Rahmat Shah's Valiant Fifty Goes In Vain

Rahmat Shah scored 52 off 76 balls and on the fifth ball of the 30th over, Nasum Ahmed bowled a quicker delivery, around off. Naib punched it to the left of the cover fielder and set off for a run. His partner Rahmat Shah obliged and ran towards the batter's end. However, Naib after seeing the quick pick-up and throw from the fielder, Rishad Hossain  turned back and started running towards the batter's end.

It left Rahmat Shah completely off-guard and both were stranded at the batter's end. Naib put in a dive to get back to the crease earlier than Rahmat Shah as Bangladesh players took advantage of the situation and keeper threw the ball towards the bowler's end to ran Rahmat Shah out.

It was a big breakthrough for Bangladesh and Afghanistan kept losing wickets at regular intervals after that to get bowled out for just 184. It is all to play for in the decider now on Monday, 11th of November at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
