Afghanistan to meet Bangladesh in next assignment
Afghanistan are slated to play a three-match ODI series against Bangladesh in November. While the venue of the series is yet to be revealed, it is expected to be a cracking contest with the way Afghanistan's stocks have risen in the international circuit.
The Afghan players recently hammered South Africa in a three-match ODI series in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Afghanistan defeated South Africa 2-1 and displayed a commendable effort in all three departments.
The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side began the series with a bang. The Afghan team ripped South Africa's batting order to shreds and bundled them out for just 106 inside 34 overs. Teenage spin-bowling sensation Allah Ghaznafar spread an impregnable web around the Proteas alongside Rashid and stifled them.
Left-arm speedster Fazalhaq Farooqi was the pick of all the Afghan bowlers as he returned figures of 4/35 in his seven overs. Afghanistan chased the target down with six wickets to spare. The hosts sealed the series with a staggering 177-run win in the second ODI before losing the final game by seven wickets.
