Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan scripted history on Saturday (8 July) as they beat Bangladesh in the second ODI of the three-match series and took an unassailable lead. The visitors completely outplayed the host team as Afghanistan won the match by 142 runs. It was a complete team effort from Afghanistan as more than one player starred in their performances. 

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran scored centuries while also putting on a massive 256-run opening partnership. While Gurbaz scored a 125-ball 145, Zadran scored 100 runs off 119 balls. On the back of this mammoth opening stand, Afghanistan put on 331/9 on the board.

Then, with the ball, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Fazalhaq Farooqi wreaked havoc claiming three wickets apiece. Rashid Khan also bagged two wickets to bundle Litton Das-led Bangladesh for 189. Mushfiqur Rahim (69) fell alone in the middle as others could hardly make a contribution. 

With this win in the second ODI and having won the first one by the DLS method, Afghanistan gained an unassailable lead of 2-0. They now stand a chance to whitewash the Tigers at their home. Nevertheless, even if they don’t, Afghanistan have already scripted history.

By claiming the series, Afghanistan have become the second team to win an ODI series against Bangladesh while playing on the latter’s turf in eight years. And hence, the series win brought a lot of praise for the Afghans. 

Check out the reactions. 

Meanwhile, a few Indian fans were quick to bring India’s series defeat against the same team last year. 

Notably, Rohit Sharma-led India lost a three-match ODI series against the Tigers 1-2. While the Men in Blue lost the first two matches, India managed to save themselves from embarrassment and won the final match on the back of a century from Virat Kohli and a double century from Ishan Kishan.
