Mehidy Hasan Miraz first shared a staggering 60-run partnership with Mohammad Naim (28). But after Bangladesh lost two quick wickets, he rebuilt the innings alongside Najmul Hossain Shanto, who also slammed his century. The duo took the game away from the opposition with their 200-plus partnership. 

Mehidy Hasan Miraz made mockery of the Afghanistan bowlers and brought up his century in 115 balls including 6 fours and 2 sixes. In the must-win game, he rose to the occasion and carried his team with a sensational knock in the pressure game.

Opening the innings, he made sure that he set the stage on fire. This is also his second ton in the 50-over format. The batter was retired hurt for 112 off 119 balls with 7 fours and 3 sixes. The batter felt some discomfort in his hand and left the field.

Just tuned in for Ban vs Afg
Nice one from shanto and Mehidy.
Naim got Bangladesh off to a brisk start, but Mehidy Hasan has managed to notch up a solid ton. Afg hasn't capitalised the start they got with two wickets but that was some batting from Ban.#BANvAFG
