Bangladesh tour of UAE (2025) - [3 T20Is and 3 ODIs against Afghanistan]

I was always for giving Nurul a permanent spot in batting line up. He is a match winner for you who can change the complexion of the game,not so many players can do it.

They literally scrap to 150 and hope Rashid, Noor and Mujeeb to strangle

They are asking too much now.

Rashid and Noor are all over the world. People are taking them down now.

Yup.

Their weakness is batting. They need to stop playing too many accumulators in their T20 team.

They generally can't post more than 160.

Ramiz Raja was exposed here as if he’s the Athar Ali Khan for Afghanistan

I know the reason why. This guy wants Afghanistan to win because he loves the b.s approach of Accumalators as openers and feel good about his insistence of Rizwan and Babar as T20 openers!

LOL. Yeah.

Ramiz Raza doesn't seem to understand modern day T20. Just like Aamir Sohail, Atahar Ali Khan, Gavaskar etc.

I politely disagree.
He was open heartedly praising Bangladesh and it seemed to me that he was backing Bangladesh to win here.

Please don't put Gavaskar in the same line. No comparison. Gavaskar is a magnificent commentator.

He wasn’t supporting them in the last 2 Noor overs

You could sense he was getting frustrated with BD getting closer!

As a commentator he should be neutral and support both teams in different phases of the game.
 
This tour has 3 T20s and 3 ODIs.

BD should try to win 6-0. It can give them great momentum.

Anyway, need to take 1 game at a time. 2-0 so far.

Well, he’s an old man. It’s not easy for chachus to remain professional and unbiased throughout
 
So now both Pakistan and banglu fans hide behind Afghanistan.

Abhi india se zaleel hoke aye ho bhul gye kya. 3-0 se Pakistan ko kiya or 1-0 se kanglu team ko.

Saram hai koi todi si?

:klopp :kp
 
Pakistan Bangladesh Srilanka and Afghanistan Quadrangular tournament. Oh Moja hobe..
 
BD need more T20 game time. Glad these series are happening, eventthough not following it closely.
 
Again, major problem with this BD lineup is that WK are the better batsmen. When Litton returns you really cant play 3 WKs. You need a Fahim Ashraf, Shivam Dube, Sean Abbott type of allrounder in the middle.

Saifuddin is the pace bowling allrounder but he has to improve his batting. What is the khet coach Salahuddin doing? Nothing improved under him.

Nurul. Joker is a major flop in tournaments. Nurul made crucial brilliant dive-stop and run out against Afghanistan in the asia cup at that stage, that was the turning point. Also added quick runs towards the end in the match when the Joker was playing test innings.

Nurul and jaker looked so bad against Pakistan like it was funny to watch them bat like newbies
 
Bangladesh clinched the T20I series against Afghanistan with a thrilling two-wicket win in the second match at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday, thanks to a disciplined bowling performance and a composed unbeaten 31 from Nurul Hasan.

Afghanistan, opting to bat first, posted 147/5 in their 20 overs. Openers Sediqullah Atal and Ibrahim Zadran gave them a flying start with a 55-run partnership. Atal scored 23 off 19 balls, including two sixes and a four, before falling to Rishad Hossain in the eighth over. Zadran top-scored with 38 off 37 balls, featuring three boundaries and a six, before being dismissed by Nasum Ahmed.

After Zadran’s departure, Afghanistan’s innings lost momentum, slipping to 118/5 by the 17th over. A late flourish from Azmatullah Omarzai (19 off 17) and Mohammad Nabi (20 off 12) added an unbeaten 29-run stand to push the total to a competitive score. Nasum and Rishad each claimed two wickets for Bangladesh, with Shoriful Islam also contributing one.

In response, Bangladesh’s chase got off to a rocky start, stumbling to 24/3 in under five overs due to Omarzai’s early double strike. However, captain Jaker Ali and Shamim Hossain steadied the innings with a 56-run stand. Jaker scored 32 off 25 balls, while Shamim added a brisk 33 off 22 before being dismissed by Noor Ahmad.

Despite losing wickets in clusters, Bangladesh found a calm finisher in Nurul Hasan, whose unbeaten 31 off 21 balls—featuring three sixes and a four—guided the team to victory with five balls remaining. Omarzai was the standout bowler for Afghanistan, taking 4/23, while Rashid Khan picked up two wickets and Mujeeb and Noor claimed one each.

With this win, Bangladesh sealed the series 2-0, with one match remaining to be played at the same venue on Sunday.

I would've kicked him out right after Pak game. Supposedly best local coaches got to offer.
 

Bangladesh unveil ODI squad to face Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi​

Bangladesh have announced their squad for this month's three-match ODI series against Afghanistan.

The series will form an important preparation for both sides ahead of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027, with the first of three games to be held in Abu Dhabi on October 8.

Experienced batter Litton Das misses out on selection as he continues his recovery from a side strain, while Parvez Hossain Emon is left out completely after he featured against Afghanistan in July.

It means there is maiden ODI call-up for Saif Hassan, while fellow batter Nurul Hasan earns a recall to the 50-over setup for the first time since 2023.

All-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz will continue to lead the side, with all three matches during the series to be held at Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Bangladesh squad: Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Tanzid Hasan, Mohammad Naim, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Shamim Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana

Good to see some success for Bangla brothers. Cricket needs a strong Bangladesh.
 
3rd T20I today.

BD won the toss and elected to field first.

AFG - 28/2 (4.1 overs).

Gurbaz was out earlier.
 
AFG - 106/8 (16 overs).

4 overs to go. Can Afghans reach 140? That can give bowlers something to defend.
 
Afghanistan finish at 143/9 after 20 overs. Good recovery from 98/8.

BD need 144 to win.
 
Bangladesh let them off the hook here

143 is a decent total here

This track is definitely offering spin

98-8 to 143 is a good comeback by Afg tail. They could end up winning this. Momentum is with them. They will have to bowl and field well.

I think the pitch is still decent.

I think 150-155 is par here. Same as last 2 games.
 
Mujeeb played a good knock. 23* from 18. His highest T20I score.

He was dropped by Nurul. That was an easy catch but Nurul dropped it.
 
No Noor today. Afghanistan benched him for a debutant (Bashir). Bashir bowls medium.
 
Good over for BD. 13 off it.

BD - 16/0 (3 overs; target: 144).

128 to win from 102 balls.
 
2nd six from Saif.

BD - 47/1 (6 overs; target: 144).

97 to win from 84 balls.

Powerplay is done.
 
Back to back boundaries from Tanzid.

BD - 57/1 (7 overs; target: 144).

87 to win from 78 balls.
 
Remember when our legends Tamim, Shakib, Mahmudullah, Mushy used to play qualifiers against Associates?
