Chasing 156 for victory, Afghanistan lost four wickets while they had just 20 on the board after 4.3 overs. They were dismissed for 94 in 17.4 overs.

Batting first after winning the toss, Bangladesh rode on Litton’s 44-ball 60 that included four boundaries and two sixes. They posted 155-8 after 20 overs.

Fazalhaq Farooqi and Azmatullah Omarzai took two wickets each for Afghanistan, while Rashid Khan and Qais Ahmad each claimed one.
