Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan stole the show despite his team’s loss to Bangladesh in their Group B game in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025. Rashid played an amazing no-look shot off Mustafizur Rahman that sent the ball sailing into the boundary for a six.
Bangladesh had batted first after winning the toss and, thanks to 52 by Tanzid Hasan and contributions from Saif Hassan (30) and Towhid Hridoy (26), posted 154/5 in 20 overs. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad took two wickets each for Afghanistan.
Afghanistan never got going in their chase despite 35 by Rahmanullah Gurbaz and 30 by Azmatullah Omarzai, as they lost the game by 8 runs, scoring 146 runs. This win kept the Bangladesh team alive in the tournament.
Rashid Khan tried his best with the bat, scoring 20 runs in 11 balls with two fours and one six. And that six made everyone take notice.
Rahman's delivery in the 17th over was the turning point. With 45 needed from the last four overs, Rashid remained calm and flipped his bat, scoring a key six off the former's pace to give his team some impetus.
