KABUL (Pajhwok): A dumb batting display saw Afghanistan crashing to a humiliating rout in the opener of the T20 series against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Thursday.
The tourists made a heavy weather of what initially looked like an attainable target. Chasing 156, Afghanistan’s top-order batters appeared flimsy and hopeless.
With only eight runs on the board, three Afghan batsmen were sent back to the dugout. Hazratullah Zazai (6), Rahmatullah Gurbaz (0) and Darwish Rassouli (2) all fell cheaply to Nasum Ahmed.
The left-arm orthodox spinner, having made his international debut a year back, went on to account . . .
