Afghanistan are slowly turning Sharjah into their fortress. It has not been long since they registered their maiden series win against South Africa and today they have blown Bangladesh away. Mind you in both innings they were under pressure but found ways to get out of it and take a 1-0 lead. Bangladesh will be disappointed as they started well with both bat and ball but allowed Afghanistan to get back into the game. They will have to do better if they are to level the series against this Afghanistan side in these conditions. That's all from us today. Until next time, goodbye and stay safe..

Hashmatullah Shahidi | Afghanistan captain: Quite happy with the performance. It was good and looking forward to the next game. I believed it was enough. We had lost 5 wickets but when Nabi came, he batted positively and we spoke about 220 would be a good score. The bowlers then did their job. The way the spinners bowled was brilliant. He (Allah Ghazanfar) is a special talent and has a good future for Afghanistan. He bowled well in the first spell, but he bowled that no-ball and I asked him why did he bowl a no-ball. I am very happy with the options we have on the bench. It is unfortunate that we don't have Ibrahim, he's the best opener in Afghanistan, we missed Mujeeb as well and Gurbaz too could not keep because of an injury.

Najmul Shanto | Bangladesh captain: We started well in the first 15-20 overs. But we didn't execute our plans in the middle overs. Nabi batted brilliantly. We didn't need to attack more. The wicket had enough help for the bowlers. I think Shahidi and Nabi batted really well. My wicket made the difference. I was the set batter and needed to bat longer. Afghanistan always have mystery spinners and he (Allah Ghazanfar) bowled really well. The preparation was brilliant but today was not our day and hopefully we can turn it around.

Allah Ghazanfar is the Player of the Match for his career-best figures. He spoke in Pashto in the presentation ceremony.
