Afghanistan vs Bangladesh, AFG vs BAN Live Score, One-off Test, Day 3 – The Tech Word News

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh, AFG vs BAN Live Score: Afghanistan captain Rahmat Shah produced a resilient unbeaten 84 to keep his team in the game against Bangladesh on the second day of the Test in Abu Dhabi. Afghanistan reached 211 for four at stumps, trailing Bangladesh’s first innings score of 346 by 135 runs.
Facing 186 balls and hitting eight fours and a six, Rahmat held firm as the Bangladeshi bowlers struggled to break through during the final over. He found a reliable partner in vice-captain Ikram Alikhil, who remained unbeaten on 26 off 91 deliveries. Their unbroken 72-run stand for the fifth wicket helped Afghanistan negotiate the final overs without losing another wicket.
Bangladesh briefly gained the initiative after tea through wicketkeeper Litton Das. He took a superb diving catch to his right to dismiss Abdul Malik, who scored 62 off 120 balls, including five boundaries and a six. Litton then took a sharp trip off Mehida Hasan Miraz to send Hashmatullah Shahidi back for a two-ball duck.
Malik had earlier provided valuable support to Rahmat when he scored his maiden Test half-century in 34. Rahmat also played positively, finding boundaries through cover and mid-wicket and hitting Taijul Islam for a straight six.
Bangladesh resumed the day on 334 for eight but were bowled out for 346 in 8.3 overs. Mohammad Saleem took four wickets for 82 runs, Yamin Ahmadzai three and Ismat Alam two. Tanzid Hasan’s 83 and Shadman Islam’s 67 provided the foundation for Bangladesh’s all-rounder.
Afghanistan lost Sediqullah Atal and Shahidullah during their innings, but Malik and Rahmat helped recover from early setbacks. Shahidullah fell for 20, bowling out Ebadot Hossain, while Atal edged Hasan Mahmud to slip first.
Rahmat’s resistance kept Afghanistan within reach of all Bangladesh with six wickets to spare. His next challenge will be to convert his half-century into a hundred and help Afghanistan reduce the deficit on day three.
