Afghanistan beat Bangladesh by five wickets in the series decider to claim the three-match ODI series 2-1. Mahmadullah Riyad’s valiant unbridled 98 fell short against Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s century and Azmatullah Omarzai’s match-winning 64 that sealed the deal for the Atalans in Sharjah.

Criticizers will criticize but it is our job to silence them without performances. This could be the thought process that Rahmanullah Gurbaz followed during the third ODI against Bangladesh as he secured a scintillating century after a couple of low scores in the previous two outings.

The wrong steps can often misguide from leading to the destination. Afghanistan seemed to be in a similar situation when Gulbadin Naib’s lapse in concentration led to well-set Rahmat Shah’s dismissal at crucial times of the chase during the second ODI against Bangladesh in Sharjah.

A debut game is often a memorable outing for any athlete. However, Jaker Ali’s maiden ODI appearance didn’t look mesmerizing after his disastrous collision with the onfield umpire left partner Taskin Ahmed panicking in the middle of the pitch during Bangladesh’s second ODI against Afghanistan.
