As a result, Afghanistan reached the port of victory after losing only 2 wickets in 17.4 overs. Mahedi Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad got one wicket each for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh didn't have a good start after winning the toss and opting to bat first. Munim sharier opened the scoring with 4 off the second ball of Mohammad Nabi, but he was caught by Ashraf in the fourth ball of that over. Liton Das also returned after Munim. He failed to play big innings. Bangladesh lost 4 wickets for only 45 runs.

However, Mahmudullah Riyadh and Mushfiqur Rahim managed to maintain the speed of the run. However, in the 15th over, Riyadh fell back into the trap of leg before with Rashid. He returned with 21 runs off 3 balls in 14 balls.

Mushfiqur returned immediately after Riyadh's departure. In the first ball of Farooqi's third over, Nabi caught him in the cover. Mushfiqur returned with 30 runs off with 4 fours in 25 balls. Then Sheikh Mehdi Hasan was defeated by Farooqi's great yorker in the third ball. He returned to the pavilion with a Golden Duck . Bangladesh scored 115 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs with the help of Nasum Ahmed's unbeaten 5 and Mustafizur Rahman's 6 runs. Afghanistan needs only 116 runs to win that game to level the series. And they did this with excellent batting from Zazai.
