Shoriful Islam at short third reacts quickly, takes the catch comfortably, and the fielding side erupts in celebration. Rasooli’s promising 32 off 29 comes to an end.

Saifuddin reacts sharply, gets low, and takes a well-judged catch. That’s two in two for Sakib. Ahmadzai goes without scoring.

AFG 82-5

Afghanistan Vs Bangladesh, 3rd T20I Live Cricket Score: Saifuddin Breaks Crucial Partnership!

Breakthrough right after the drinks break! Saifuddin provides the spark for Bangladesh with a clever short delivery outside off. It didn’t rise much, and Sediqullah Atal went hard at it, trying to cut but getting a thick slice instead. The ball looped toward deep backward point where Tanzid Hasan made a bit of a meal of it initially, juggling on the first attempt, but composed himself quickly to complete the catch on the second grab. Sediqullah goes for 28.
