Afghanistan are keeping things tight with the ball and were complimented well by Rahmat Shah, who took a staggering catch to give something for fans to cheer. The third game of the ICC World Cup 2023 took place between Bangladesh and Afghanistan in Dharamsala.
While defending the low target of 157 runs against Bangladesh, Afghanistan kept things tight with the ball. They picked early two wickets and then minimized the run flow as they bowled impeccable lines and lengths, making batters work hard for runs.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz took his time and got to a decent fifty but his dream to take his side home by shattered by the brilliance of Rahmat Shah in the field. The Afghanistan batters produced a stupendous effort in the field that sent the batter packing in the 29th over of the second innings.
Mehidy Hasan played a lofted drive towards mid-off off Naveen-ul-Haq???s delivery. Rahmat Shah timed his jump to perfection and plucked a one-handed blinder. The umpires sent the dismissal upstairs and the replays showed it was a clear catch.

Mehidy Hasan scored 57 runs off 73 balls and took his team close to the target. He also smashed 5 boundaries in his innings. The batter was quite lucky though as was dropped a couple of times and the LBW appeal was also overturned.
BAN vs AFG: Afghanistan get bundled out for just 156 runs
It was a horrendous start for Afghanistan to their ICC World Cup 2023 campaign. They had a dreadful outing with the bat against Bangladesh as they were bundled out for just 156 runs. They were put into bat first and it was a good start for them as Rahmanullah Gurbaz (47) and Ibrahim Zadran (22) added 47 runs for an opening partnership.
However, after that, nothing went their way as they lost wickets in clusters and were reduced from 83/1 to 156 all out. Rahmat Shah (18) and Hashmatullah Shahidi (18) tried to hold the fort but they couldn???t get going as they were all out for low total. For Bangladesh, Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz picked three wickets each.
