Bangladesh begins World Cup campaign in style, beat Afghanistan by six wickets

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and invited Afghanistan to bat first. The decision looked in favour of them from the start of the match. Shakib provided the first breakthrough for his side, dismissing opener Ibrahim Zadran for just 22 runs in the ninth over. 

Rahmanullah Gurbaz, however, spearheaded Afghanistan's innings, scoring 47 off 62 deliveries. No other Afghan batter scored more than 25 runs for the side. Meanwhile, Shakib picked up two more wickets to claim a three-wicket haul. 

Mehidy Hasan also picked up three wickets as Bangladesh restricted Afghanistan to 156 in 37.2 overs. Meanwhile, Shoriful Islam grabbed one, and Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman made one scalp each.

Bangladesh got off to the worst possible start as they lost the services of both openers Tanzid Hasan and Liton Das in the fifth and seventh overs respectively. No. 3 batter Mahidy Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto together led the charge for Bangladesh as they chased down the target in 34.4 overs.

Hasan scored 57 off 73 deliveries while Shanto amassed an unbeaten 59 off 83 balls. Meanwhile, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Azmatullah Omarzai picked up one wicket each.
