Zazai hit 59 off 45 balls and Usman Ghani scored 47, guiding Afghanistan to 121-2 in 17.4 overs after Fazalhaq Farooqi and Azmatullah Omarzai claimed three wickets each to restrict Bangladesh to 115-9. A minute’s silence was observed in memory of late Australian greats Shane Warne and Rodney Marsh before the start of the match.
Both Zazai and Ghani benefited from Bangladesh’s sloppy fielding as the hosts failed to back up Thursday’s convincing 61 run victory. Nasum Ahmed dropped Zazai on nought off the third ball of the innings before Afif Hossain and Mohammad Naim reprieved Ghani at 39 and 41 off the bowling of Mahedi Hasan.
Mahedi struck early to remove Rahmanullah Gurbaz for three but Zazai and Ghani took full advantage of Bangladesh’s weak fielding to add 99 runs for the second wicket. Mahmudullah Riyad dismissed Ghani to break the stand, with Afghanistan only 13 runs away from victory. It was left to Darwish Rasooli to end the game with a towering six off left-arm spinner Nasum.

Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi hailed the team for their bowling efforts. “The boys played really well, especially in the first innings. Hazratullah and Ghani batted well for us,” he said. The hosts earlier never managed to get going after electing to bat first, losing wickets at regular intervals.
“It was a good wicket to bat on. We didn’t put together enough partnerships. (I am) very disappointed the way this game turned up,” said Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah. “We need to improve our fielding. That’s something we need to work on,” he added. Mushfiqur Rahim top-scored with 30 off 25 balls, in his 100th Twenty20 international, while Mahmudullah chipped in with 21 off 13 balls.
On 19, Mahmudullah became the first Bangladeshi to score 2000 runs in Twenty20 internationals before he was trapped plumb in front by leg-spinner Rashid Khan.
Farooqi finished with 3-19 while Omarzai claimed 3-22.

Bangladesh looked ruthless in the 1st T20 with both bat and ball. Nasum Ahmed was the star with the ball in hand as picked up four wickets. It was a superb spell that bundled the visitors for just 94. The only slight concern for the hosts heading into 2nd T20I will be the form of their batters. Barring Liton Das, none could get going.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan would be hoping to do well with bat and ball in hand. It was a rare bad day in the office for the team. Traditionally, the shortest format is their stronger suit. Players like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Zazai have a lot of experience playing different leagues around the world. The trio would look to deliver their best.
Afghanistan Playing XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Hazratullah Zazai, Usman Gani, Darwish Rasooli, Najibullah Zardan, Mohammad Nabi (c), Karim Janat, Rashid Khan, Azmatulah Omarzai, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Sharafuddin Ashraf.
Bangladesh Playing XI: Liton Das, Mohammad Naim, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah (c), Afif Hossain, Munim Shahriar, Mahedi Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim 9wk), Nasum Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman.
