In the first ODI, Afghanistan's Ghazanfar was able to turn everything around with their bowling magic which made it easy for Afghanistan to win the match. Both the teams bowled well in that match but Bangladesh team's batting was so weak. When Afghanistan lost five wickets under scoring 100, the team struggled to take the score to 229 but Bangladesh could not bat that way.
Mehdi Hasan Miraj of Bangladesh did not get any wicket in that match but Ghazanfar got a wicket as soon as he bowled. Mehdi Hasan Miraj though was a bowler of Ghazanfar's quality. It is not right to blame the Bangladesh bowlers in that match, but if all the blame is to be blamed then Bangladesh batsmen have to do it. Especially how Mahmudullah Riyad and Mushfiqur Rahim got out recklessly despite being two older and experienced batsmen. Bangladesh would not have been defeated in that match if they had not played the innings recklessly.
The opening batsmen of the Bangladesh team did very well, with the batsmen in the top order scoring a lot of runs. When the Bangladesh players scored 120 runs, the number of wickets was only three, but the wickets fell immediately after 134 runs, and the storm of wickets fell.
Mahmudullah Riyad and Mushfiqur Rahim, two veteran players, got out in that storm. The supporters of the Bangladesh team relied on these two players for the last hope of the Bangladesh team but still one of the last hopes was exhausted.
