**Sharjah, UAE:** A sensational six-wicket haul by Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar propelled Afghanistan to a commanding 92-run victory over Bangladesh in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on [Date].
Ghazanfar, who took three wickets in a single over, finished with incredible figures of 6/26, the best bowling figures in Bangladesh vs Afghanistan ODI matches. His victims included Tanzid Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam.
Earlier, Mohammad Nabi’s crucial 84 runs helped Afghanistan recover from a shaky start of 36/4 to post a respectable total of 235. Bangladesh, who were cruising at 120/2, collapsed dramatically, losing eight wickets for just 23 runs.
“It was a good and exciting win,” said a jubilant Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi. “Nabi batted positively, and the bowlers did their job. Ghazanfar is a special talent, and he bowled brilliantly.”
Bangladesh captain Najmul Shanto admitted his team failed to execute their plans in the middle overs. “We didn’t need to attack more,” he said. “Afghanistan always have mystery spinners, and Ghazanfar bowled really well. Hopefully, we can turn it around.”
This resounding victory further strengthens Afghanistan’s confidence after their recent series win against South Africa. Bangladesh, on the other hand, face a crucial task of regrouping and bouncing back in the remaining two ODIs.
