Rashid Khan was the show-stopper, bagging three of them, but it was after debutant Zahir Khan had removed Shakib Al Hasan to deal the Tigers the biggest blow of the day. Today's three scalps meant the Afghanistan captain netted a six-for, becoming the first Afghan to claim five or more wickets in both innings of a Test after his grabbing five wickets in the first innings.

Bangladesh would be ruing the loss, especially the failure to save the match with the likes of Shakib, Soumya Sarkar and Mehidy Hasan Miraz batting on a fifth day.

The way Shakib was out frustrated fans and pundits alike, but Afghanistan deserved plaudits for taking their chances.

That is even more commendable because of the way they bounced back after a disastrous World Cup where they did not win a single game and Rashid Khan even conceded 110 runs in nine overs against England.

The Tigers will now need to shrug off this poor performance before they take on Zimbabwe on Friday in the opening match of a tri-nation T20 series that also features Afghanistan.

I hope good playing for Bangladesh in tri-nation T20 series.
