Afghanistan continued their winning run in the Asia Cup 2022 after beating Bangladesh in Sharjah on Tuesday. Chasing a target of 128, the Afghan side went over the line by 7 wickets in the penultimate over of the innings.
Afghanistan had lost wickets at regular intervals and were 62/3 when Ibrahim Zadran and Najibullah Zadran joined hands and provided the resistance to the side before Najibullah went all guns blazing in the final phase of the innings. He remained unbeaten at 43 off 17. Ibrahim on the other side, also made an important contribution as he returned not out for 42 in 41 deliveries.
What a win! 🙌

Ibraham Zadran is such a wonderful player to watch. Technically solid. And Najibullah deserves an IPL gig. Should bat higher in this AFG team too #AfgvBan #AsiaCup— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) August 30, 2022
