Rain halts play again after Tigers’ middle-order crumbles

Rain halts play again after tigers' middle-order crumbles0

At the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Wednesday, Bangladesh are facing serious difficulties in the first one-day international that they are playing against Afghanistan.

Following another delay caused by rain, the Tigers are now batting and have reached 144 for seven inside of the 35th over.

Following Afif Hossain’s departure from the game, the all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz was the most recent player to be dismissed. Both hitters were unable to achieve a score in the double digits and were out on strikes due to leg before balls.

Afif was bowled leg before wicket by Rashid Khan’s googly after scoring four runs off eight balls, while Miraz was out in the same way by Fazalhaq Farooqi’s fast ball. Afif’s dismissal came eight balls after Miraz’s.

Earlier on, the great all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan had a poor performance with the bat, as he was out after getting 14 runs off of 35 balls. At the same time, the other veteran Mushfiqur Rahim was out after scoring just one run, which resulted in the Tigers being five runs short of their target of 112 at the conclusion of the 24th over.

At the end of the 23rd over, Shakib was put out of his suffering when he chipped one to short cover off the bowling of Azmatullah Omarzai. Shakib had a difficult time getting going, and he was put out of his misery.

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.
