Bangladesh A has taken an early lead against Afghanistan A in Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025, as their bowlers have been dominant. Unfortunately for Afghanistan A, their top order has struggled and have lost two quick wickets during the powerplay that have put them behind.
SM Meherob takes two wickets in an over, with Ahmed Ahmadzai and Nangeyalia Kharote both caught out at short fine leg – this has put BAN A on the back foot as they need to improve their batting game in order to remain competitive.
Bangladesh batsman Emon hit three sixes in the fifth over to keep Bangladesh ahead, but was denied his century by some poor fielding from BAN A. Rahmanullah Gurbaz made an error at slip off ball four, and Fareed dropped an easy catch off ball 20.
AFG A were all out for 78 in 19.3 overs, after Habibur Rahman Sohan and Jishan Alam struggled with the bat, however Zawad Abrar and Mahidul Islam Ankon put together an unbeaten 55-run stand that ensured they didn’t lose further wickets.
Rahmat Shah stands out as a rare instance of an overseas-born player making an immediate impact in white-ball cricket, having shown great promise across all three formats so far.
