Ahmadzai leads Afghanistan fightback after Bangladesh top order shines
Bangladesh lost 5 wickets for 41 runs after Tanzid (83) and Shadman (67) laid a strong foundation on day one, before Ahmadzai inspired the Afghanistan fightback.
Bangladesh suffered a major batting collapse on the opening day, losing five wickets for just 41 runs after a promising start.
Openers Tanzid and Shadman had earlier laid a solid foundation for the innings, displaying disciplined composure at the crease.
Tanzid top-scored with an impressive knock of 83 runs, anchoring the early surge for the batting side.
Shadman contributed a valuable 67 runs, complementing his partner to build a commanding platform.
However, the momentum shifted dramatically when Ahmadzai spearheaded the bowling attack to trigger a fierce fightback for Afghanistan.
The sharp collapse exposed the middle order and handed the crucial advantage back to the bowling side before stumps.
