Afghanistan captain Hasmatullah Shahidi played a slow but strong innings in the last match. Afghanistan bowled brilliantly in Sharjah in the first ODI and defeated Bangladesh by 92 runs. Allah Ghazanfar put the Bangladeshi batsmen under pressure by taking 6 wickets. Afghanistan's top order did not live up to expectations in the last match, but Shahidi and Mohammad Nabi handled the middle order.

Bangladesh's performance was quite disappointing in the first ODI. Despite the presence of experienced batsmen, they could not chase the target of 236 runs. Apart from Nazmul Hussain Shanto's 47 runs, other batsmen could not play an effective innings. Bangladesh needs a better start from its top order.
