Hridoy fifty helps Bangladesh to 169

Hridoy fifty helps bangladesh to 1690

Rain forced a delay in the start of the first one-day international match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan, which took place on Wednesday at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. With the aid of Towhid Hridoy, Bangladesh were able to reach 169 for nine before the play was called off.

However, because of the DLS technique, Afghanistan will be attempting to reach a goal of 164 runs in a game that has been shortened to 43 overs each side.

Hridoy’s score of 51 off of 69 balls, which included just three boundaries, was the lone bright spot in what turned out to be a poor performance by the Tigers after they were given the opportunity to bat first.

Tamim Iqbal, who opened the batting, got off to a good start but was unable to capitalize on it since he was run out after scoring 13 runs off 21 balls.
Tamim, who stated yesterday that he is “not at one hundred per cent” due to a recurring back issue that caused him to miss the lone Test against the Afghans last month, succumbed to familiar fears as he nicked one to the keeper off of left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi. Fazalhaq Farooqi has now taken the prized scalp of the Bangladesh captain on all of the four occasions that the two have faced each other.

Shakib Al Hasan (15), Liton Das (26), and Najmul Hossain Shanto (12) all had promising beginnings but were unable to capitalize on them. Shakib’s score of 15 off 38 balls was especially noteworthy given that the left-handed batsman had a difficult time getting going and that the pacer Azmatullah Omarzai ultimately put him out of his misery. At the conclusion of the 23rd over, the left-handed hitter hit a chip shot that was caught by short cover.

In the next over, Mushfiqur made the same mistake as his predecessor by misjudging a delivery by Rashid Khan that was of a reasonable length. On the third delivery, the right-handed batsman made many attempts to draw the ball but was ultimately only successful in chopping it onto the stumps.

The game was cut short to 43 overs as a result of the rain that stopped play twice. The Tigers finished their innings with a score of 169 for nine, and no other batter was able to reach double digits other than the top five.

While Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan both took two, Farooqi was the most successful bowler, taking three wickets.
