KABUL (Pajhwok): Bangladesh are in sight of an easy win over Afghanistan as the two sides launched their ODI World Cup campaigns in India on Saturday.
Put in to bat, Afghanistan were bundled out for 156, as Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan (3/30), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (3/25), and Shoriful Islam (2/34) shone with the ball.
For Afghanistan, opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz top-scored with 47, but he received little support from his teammates.
In initial overs, openers Gurbaz and Ibrahim gave their squad a flying start and ruthlessly punished the pace attack.
The Afghan middle order collapsed once . . .
