Afghanistan vs Bangladesh , Match 3 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah , ODI Tri-Series in UAE, 2026 , Oct 21, 2026 Scorecard

41.2: Rashid Khan to Mustafizur Rahman, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Rashid Khan has absolutely ripped through the Bangladesh lower order, and Bangladesh are bowled out for 160. Rashid shows everyone why he is the number 1-ranked ICC bowler in ODIs and ends up with a four-fer. Another one on a good length, bowling it flatter and on off stump. The ball doesn't turn and just slides on. Mustafizur Rahman gets pushed back, and the ball skids past the inside edge to crash into the off pole. Afghanistan have kept Bangladesh to a very low total here.

41.1: Rashid Khan to Aliss Al Islam, OUT! CAUGHT! Turning back the years, Nabi, 41 years young, has taken a stunning catch. Rashid dishes out a proper leg break that lands on a fuller length and spins away from the batter. Aliss is drawn forward and looks to defend, but the ball spins almost square and takes the outside edge. Now, the ball shoots between the keeper and the first slip fielder. Mohammad Nabi is alert at first slip and dives to his left. But the ball hits his left palm and threatens to drop down on the ground, but he shows great game awareness and plucks the ball with his right hand while diving. He keeps possession of the ball despite landing hard on his elbows. The on-field umpire refers it to the TV umpire to check the legality of the catch. After examining a couple of angles, it is deemed a fair catch. Rashid has his third wicket. Bangladesh are 160/9.

40.6: Yamin Ahmadzai to Aliss Al Islam, A slower one at just 98.4 kph, full onto the pads. Aliss misses his flick and the ball deflects behind to deep fine leg. They cross for a leg bye.

40.5: Yamin Ahmadzai to Aliss Al Islam, Almost a yorker, on off, Aliss carves it straight to backward point.

40.4: Yamin Ahmadzai to Aliss Al Islam, On a fuller length, on off, Aliss defends it off the front foot.

40.3: Yamin Ahmadzai to Aliss Al Islam, On a good length, outside off, tapped off the back foot to cover-point.

40.2: Yamin Ahmadzai to Taskin Ahmed, A touch full and around off, Ahmed mistimes his lofted drive, but manages to clear mid off. He thinks that the ball is racing to the fence, but it just slows down in the outfield and realising that, he starts running. Hashmatullah Shahidi is quick enough to chase the ball from the inner ring and restricts the batters down to a single. Very casual running.

40.1: Yamin Ahmadzai to Taskin Ahmed, Back of a length, on top of off, Ahmed hangs back and defends it to the off side.

39.6: Rashid Khan to Taskin Ahmed, Bowled from around the stumps, flatter and just outside off. Ahmed waits back and nudges it behind point for a single.

39.5: Rashid Khan to Taskin Ahmed, Rashid comes around the wicket and bowls a leg-break that is attacking the stumps. Taskin Ahmed blocks it off.

39.4: Rashid Khan to Taskin Ahmed, On the money. Quicker and flatter, on middle, and straightening a bit. Taskin does well to keep it out.

39.4: Rashid Khan to Taskin Ahmed, WIDE! Dragged length, bowling it from behind the stumps at the other end, and spraying it well down the leg side for an extra.

39.3: Rashid Khan to Taskin Ahmed, Very full, landing it on middle and leg. Taskin Ahmed digs it out to mid-wicket.

39.2: Rashid Khan to Parvez Hossain Emon, OUT! LBW! An appeal for LBW, and the finger goes up. Parvez Hossain Emon doesn't seem all that confident, but he does review it, as he should at this stage. This is the top-spinner from Rashid Khan, bowled on a nagging length and on middle, sliding straight on. Emon gets a big stride forward and looks to block but the ball pitches and beats the inside edge, going on to hit the pads. The third umpire has a look at it. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, ending a fighting knock by Emon. Afghanistan are just 2 wickets away from bowling Bangladesh out, who are now 156/8.

39.1: Rashid Khan to Parvez Hossain Emon, Tossed up at the stumps, Emon leans on and eases it down to mid on.
