Rahmanullah Gurbaz Powers Afghanistan To 142-run Win Over Bangladesh
Openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran both scored hundreds as Afghanistan crushed Bangladesh by 142 runs on Saturday to seal their three-match one-day international series. Bangladesh were attempting to put a strange week behind them after captain Tamim Iqbal shocked his teammates by announcing his immediate retirement on Thursday only to change his mind a day later. Afghanistan's openers laid the foundation for a mammoth total of 331-9 in Chittagong with their 256-run stand, a record partnership for the tourists, before their bowlers did the rest.
