Commentary

That's all from us then! This is Soumarya Dutta, signing off on behalf of Bala. See you soon.

Shakib Al Hassan, Bangladesh Captain- We did loose a couple of wickets in the middle but we always had the confidence that we will be able to chase that total down. During the day time, the pitch plays well and we utilized it according to our benefit. Today the coaching staff wanted the youngsters to do the job so I came at the back end. Most of the guys in this squad are also a part of the ODI squad and hopefully they will be able to carry the momentum through to Asia cup and put up some good performances.

Rashid Khan (captain, Bangladesh): (About the conditions) That's not the kind of excuse that we can make. In T20s, the result is decided with the skill. If the batters had taken some time, they could have scored. It was a bad game, but we can learn from it. To know your role and capacity is very important. Control the emotions, it will be key for us in the future. Decision making is important, when to score, when to take a chance. We need to get all these right for the World Cup. We know our weaknesses, so that is a plus. That was the mindset, to stay in the game till the last. It's all about the effort, giving 100% with the ball. That happened, but again, less score on the board. (On flying to the US for the MLC) Yes, in an hour.

Bangladesh 119/4 in 16.1 overs
Litton Das 35(36) | Mujeeb ur Rehman 2/28
Afif Hossain 24(20) | Azmatullah Omarzai 2/17

There were a few nervous moments at the back end there for Bangladesh but they've romped home with 7 wickets and 5 balls to spare. They began the run chase in some style as Litton Das went all guns blazing in the powerplay and was given able support by makeshift opener Afif Hossain Dhurbo. However, they failed to accelerate in the middle overs and Mujeeb picked up both the openers in one over to put them in a spot of bother.

It was a bit of a scrap for Bangladesh from there onwards as LORD Shanto threw his wicket away as well but the veteran of many a battle, Shakib along with youngster Towhid steadied the ship. The latter perished in the penultimate over of the innings going for the glory shot but he had already done the damage by that time. In the end, it was Shamim Patwari who finished things off in style with a boundary.

The Afghan bowlers did really well after the powerplay and made a superb match of it at the back end, but it reality they just didn't have enough runs on the board. It was Mujeeb Ur Rehman who started things off for them with two wickets in one over and Rashid Khan had also kept things really tight in his spell. However, the shackles were broken by Shakib and Hridoy who took on the bowlers once they got set. Azmatullah Omarzai also chipped in with a couple of wickets but it was too late by that time.

Bangladesh win the second T20 international by 6 wickets and win the series 2-0!

16.1 Wafadar Momund to Shamim Hossain, FOUR! Shamim seals it off. Short of a length delivery angling in. Pulls it away to the deep mid-wicket fence. Bangladesh win and seal the series 2-0!

Mohammad Nabi is showing Wafadar how to grip the ball. Never seen that one before!

Wafadar Momand [2.0-0-26-0] comes back into the attack

Splendid over for Bangladesh as Shakib ends it with a hard run couple of runs. They just need another 4 runs from here on to win the game.

15.6 Fazalhaq Farooqi to Shakib Al Hasan, they make it back for two! That's Zazai in the deep. Poor fielding from him. Full ball outside off. Drills it through covers to the fielder in the deep. Excellent running by the batters but Zazai should have done better

15.5 Fazalhaq Farooqi to Shamim Hossain, yorker outside the off-stump. Squirts it out to cover. Another tight single but the fielder fails to hit

15.4 Fazalhaq Farooqi to Shakib Al Hasan, fuller on a length angling in. It was there for a big hit but Shakib mistimes it. Off the inside edge to square leg

15.3 Fazalhaq Farooqi to Shakib Al Hasan, low full toss outside the off-stump. Slices it straight to point

15.2 Fazalhaq Farooqi to Shamim Hossain, right in the blockhole! Jabs it out to covers and takes one

15.1 Fazalhaq Farooqi to Shamim Hossain, short of a length outside off. Cuts it straight to backward point

15.1 Fazalhaq Farooqi to Shamim Hossain, angles the short delivery well down the leg-side. Not the start they needed to the over

Fazalhaq Farooqi [2.0-0-14-0] comes into the attack.

Towhid Hridoy did loose his wicket in that over but he also did the damage for Bangladesh as he smashed a six earlier on .Bangladesh just need 10 runs from here on and this is their game to win from here on.
