Talking about the match, Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and chose to bat first, but his decision back-fired massively, as Afghanistan picked up quick wickets to rattle the Bangla Tigers.
Shakib and Co were reduced to 53/5 after 10.3 overs, and credit has to be given to the Afghanistan bowlers, who have been on song in both their Asia Cup matches so far.
While Mujeeb Ur Rahman chipped in with three wickets against Bangladesh, Rashid Khan also found his groove and inflicted three dismissals.
