Test Match Test match: Bangladesh on course to a big win against Afghanistan
Dhaka, June 16: Chasing the target of 662 runs, Afghanistan lost 2 wickets in 2 overs of the innings. In the meantime, Afghan captain Hashmatullah Shahid's retired heart is out of the field due to the blow of the leg on the leg. Chasing a mountainous target, the Afghans collected 45 runs for 2 at the end of the third day.
Bangladesh need 8 more wickets to win the Dhaka Test. On the other hand, Afghanistan will need another 617 runs to pull off a miracle.
Chasing an impossible target, the visitors lost their wicket on the first ball of the innings. Afghan opener Ibrahim Zadran was bowled lbw by Shariful Islam. Couldn't bat full length delivery. The ball hits the pad. The umpire did not delay in responding to the strong appeal. The review did not end.
Taskin, who was wicketless in the previous innings, got success in the next over after Shariful. Malik tries a cover drive with the ball outside the off stump of the Tiger pacer. The ball hit the outside edge of the bat and landed in the gloves of wicketkeeper Liton Das. After Ibrahim's golden duck, Malik returned with only 5 runs. Afghans were under pressure after losing 2 wickets in the first 2 overs.
Before overcoming the disaster, the big shock was the retirement of Afghan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi from the field. The sixth over of the innings was going on. Tiger pacer Taskin Ahmed was bowling. The untold incident happened on the third ball of his over. Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi was batting for Afghans at that time.
That ball from Taskin was thought to be a bouncer by this batsman. That is why he sat down before the ball arrived. But that delivery didn't rise too high. At this time, he directly hit Shahidi's helmet. Looking at the situation, it was understood that this Afghan cricketer got a good injury. After that, even after nursing him in the field, his problem was not fixed. That's why Shahidi became a retired hurt and scored a personal 13 runs.
After that, however, there was no further disaster. The third day's play ended prematurely due to poor lighting. Two batsmen Rahmat Shah (10) and Nasir Jamal (5) are unbeaten.
Earlier, Bangladesh started the third day's play with 134 runs for 1 wicket in the second innings. The hosts declared the innings after losing 3 wickets and adding 291 runs to the scoreboard.
