Fast-rising Afghanistan upset Bangladesh by 32 runs to win their Asia
Cup match in Fatullah on Saturday.
Afghanistan scored an impressive 254-6 in their allotted 50 overs
with Asghar Stanikzai scoring a career-best unbeaten 90 and Samiullah
Shinwari making 81.
Bangladesh never looked settled in their hunt for the target and were
finally bowled out for 222 in 47.5 overs.
Stanikzai hit an unbeaten 90 off 103 balls while Shinwari smashed
69-balls for 81 during their record sixth wicket stand of 164 runs after
Bangladesh won the toss and put Afghanistan in to bat on a slow and dry
pitch.
The Stanikzai-Shinwari stand is the third highest partnership for
Afghanistan in all one-day internationals and the highest for the sixth
wicket.
