Najibullah Zadran stole the show on Tuesday as Afghanistan overwhelmed Bangladesh by 7 wickets to seal progress to the Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 stage. Chasing a 128-run target, Afghanistan were tottering at 62 for 3 at one stage in the game when Najibullah arrived at the crease and joined hands with Ibrahim Zadran. What followed next was an unbeaten 69-run partnership off only 33 balls between the duo, helping Afghanistan win the game quite easily. Najibullah hit a stunning 43 not out off 17 balls, while Ibrahim scored an unbeaten 42 off 41 balls.
Ever since Sanjay Manjrekar's "bits and pieces cricketer" comment on Ravindra Jadeja, the former India batter often finds himself at the end of a few jokes whenever the star all-rounder performs well. To Manjrekar's credit, he himself takes it on the chin and even asked Jadeja after India's win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup on Sunday if he was "okay" to talk to him. Jadeja too laughed in response and said he had no problem, with both of them seemingly having put the episode behind them.
Hardik Pandya was certainly at his best on Sunday as the all-rounder helped India edge past Pakistan in a tense Asia Cup encounter. While he returned figures of 3 for 25 in his four-over quota, Hardik scored 33 not out off 17 balls to help India win the game by 5 wickets. His knock included 4 fours and one match-winning six. The thrilling contest went down to the wire with India needing six runs off the last three balls. This is when Hardik sealed the game for Rohit Sharma and company with a powerful hit over long-on for a six.
Star Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan reached the milestone of 100th T20I matches on Tuesday. He accomplished the feat during his side's Group B Asia Cup 2022 match against Afghanistan in Sharjah. Shakib did not have an impressive 100th T20I match as, despite a good start, he failed to stay on the crease for long. He was dismissed for 11 off 9 balls after pacer Mujeeb Ur Rahman dislodged his stumps. In 100 matches now, Hasan has scored 2,018 runs at an average of 22.67. He has scored ten half-centuries in the shortest format, with 84 being his best score.
A fine performance from the spinners and an impactful cameo from Najibullah Zadran helped Afghanistan record a seven-wicket win over Bangladesh in the Asia Cup at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Afghanistan's star spinners Mujeeb Ur Rahman (3/16) and Rashid Khan (3/22) ran through a reckless Bangladesh batting line-up to restrict the opposition to 127. Bangladesh stifled Afghanistan in the run chase before Najibullah's belligerent 43 not out off 17 balls, comprising six sixes, got his team over the line in 18.3 overs.
Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan became the second-highest wicket-taker in the T20I format on Tuesday. The star Afghan bowler accomplished this landmark during his side's Group B tie against Bangladesh in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. In the 16th over of the Bangladesh innings, Rashid dismissed Mahmudullah after the batter was caught by Ibrahim Zadran at deep midwicket while attempting a slog sweep. It was the 6th wicket that Bangladesh lost at a score of 89 runs. Mahmudullah was dismissed for 25 off 27 balls.
