Miraj was finally out in the 29th over and it required a brilliant effort. Miraj, who was on 57, took an aggressive approach against Naveen but Rahmat broke the 97-run partnership by standing on the edge of the circle.
It was too late for the Afghans and they took another wicket when captain Shakib was out for 14.
Nazmul ended the match with consecutive fours and a roar in the 35th over.
“Very happy with the way we played,” he said. We believed that if we get one wicket, we can make a comeback. It was not easy for some players, but we are happy with the way we batted and bowled,” said a very satisfied Shakib at the end of the match.
